Rainbow Friend If I could capture all the softness in an infants sigh Collect all the wonder of an eagle flying high If I could summon up the power of the wind and the sea And wrap it in the mystery of a scene of pure beauty If I could mix them all together form them into one Merge it and unite it with the power of the sun Form it into something stand it straight and true Its form would be a symbol and it would stand for you You my dearest friend are the rainbow that I see Your many hued colours so bright and so pretty You’re the wind beneath my wings watch me as I fly Laughing as you watch me write my name across the sky You give me so much power you make me feel so free You’re a wonder and a blessing you’re amazing to me Whenever I’m unsure about my place here in time I see in you the reason to my daily rhyme If I could gather moonbeams and use their lights to see Garner up starlight and place it close to me If I could wrap a loving hug and seal it with a kiss I’d combine it all with kindness topped with loving bliss I would mould it all together make it into one This would be a dream a dream that’s just begun Look into this image tell me what you see Yes its you my dearest friend it fits you to a T Marsha To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

Marsha - Happy birthday! Happy belated birthday, just in case I am a day late. This write is excellent. I am sure this is about Keth, and she read it and cried. And then you cried, and this went on for hours before either of you could stop. ![]() ![]() Dave |

Marsha, I'm feeling that serious streak that runs in me so strongly.. and this, my dear, is seriously OUTSTANDING!!! ![]() Your ability to so eloquently express these feelings, well... I find myself at a lack for words that will adequately express how much your work always, always, moves me. I know it's late, but Happy Day, dear friend, Hugz, Pepper |
