First find a friend to share your heart Soon in sharing, loving starts Tell him all and tell him often In this, all bitterness will soften Hold him close when times are bad Stand together when things get mad Tell him secrets, it shows your trust And don't forget a little lust Hear him speak, take in those words They give freedom to love's birds Commit… I say unto the end But first of all… find a friend. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Keth darling sister of my heart and holder of my secret soul Oh my I’m stunned with admiration this has got to be one of you utter utter best. Truly the line and flow in this is absolutely excellent. How do you do that darling heart? Always you surpass expectation I'll forgive you for writing soooooooo well and for being beautiful of heart and in person, but only because you deserve it. If you keep writing like this I shall start running out of superlatives and that would never do would it? I think you've just ignited a spark darling heart, I'll be back soon  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

Keth, to have a love that was first a friend is the ultimate mate. That's probably rare since most of us think lust is the absolute first prerequisite but once lust fades, without friendship, there's not much left. Well, enough of my sermon. Nice message. Cheryl |

Kethry, is this a new version of the 60's Free Love 101? LOL, I love the message. Friendship is the foundation. But don't forget the lusty fun! Who hands out the grades for this class? |

Kethry, Friendship by itself is a most wonderful thing, but having a spouse as your best friend is simply the best of both worlds. Thank you for this most special bit of wisdom. Michael |
