Friends Just Hanging Around

~*Marge Tindal*~

Tattered friends of gentlest keep
Lulled us into friendship's sleep
Hanging out with us until dawn
Keepers of night~watch so long
Held in arms of slumbering rest
Fuzzy friends were the very best
In our precious memories stored
These friends ......... these friends
so sweetly adored~

Marge:  What a tender poem and the painting is really sweet too.  Brings back memories of my kids and their best friends to sleep with.  Ron still has a Winnie-the-Pooh he got when he was about 3 and keeps him beside his bed.

Marge,
this brought back sweet memories of my daughter fast alseep under the clothes line and still hanging onto her' woobie' blanket that was drying in the breeze. Thank you for that and thank you for the lovely, soft words.
