 It always takes two for a rendezvous That will sustain a lifetime through. It always takes two for a tête a tête To last forever once you've met. It always takes two, an addend to sum To live as one all days to come. It always takes two for a complement ~ A perfect balance never spent. It always takes two for a tandem ride Life's obstacles met side by side It always takes two to say, "Yes, I Do Forever want to be with You."

Nan, And from this one, let me say this my dear. You were the one made me feel welcome here. A God-send to many, an anchor of hope, when blows the wind foul, and have reached end of rope. Doc |

Nan, this has all the flavor of the wedding wishes of decades ago...one of my favorite songs [which I was SURE my folks wrote] was Tea for Two... and my dear friend, this...THIS is a Keeper... |

This belongs on a card for weddings!! I just came across PD's post of this...and like her I will say to you...you've been here from the begining with a handful of others and Ron of course...being a part of Passions growth into this grand site and achieving something special is a wonderful accomplishment, and something to be proud of. |

you mean to tell me there was LIFE before the archives?? damn!! it seems so long ago! yeah, i remember it... i was but a child! a babe in the woods! a bit of an innocent lassie, i was, blindly clicking around cyberspace like i was gonna find something! and ya know what? i DID!! i found the PRE-ARCHIVES! and there i was and there you were and there was a few others, too, and i remember all of them very well and didn't we have a blast? i mean, it was like so frigging AWESOME!! and then came Open #1 ... 1999 i think it was... ahhhh yes... "doreen, come on over and try out this new software", you told me and i said, "ok, will do, in a while"... the next day you told me again and i said, "ok, will do, in a while"... hehe... somewhere I think deep down inside me, I KNEW that once i came over here and started using all this fancy dancy blue page ultimate bulletin board software, i'd be HOOKED and i would NEVER HAVE A LIFE AGAIN!!!!!! *sigh* but anyway, all that's history... hehe it takes two alright.... two much, two little, two late... no wait!! that's too... too of me and too of you... phooey! umm... i know!! let's go TWO the blue pages and stay there for 3 years living in a box!! LOL!! ok, i'm gonna shut up now... sorry... *blush*.. i got a little carried away.. what i really wanted to say is this.. great poem, Nan! |

There were these little cards you used to be able to buy years ago, before they cost $4-5 each and they had cute birds on the front just like these ones, and I was thinking what an adorable verse this would have made for inside those cards (that was a compliment by the way), as I know some don't like hearing that! Very, very cute Nan, sorry I am late commenting on it. ~* If I made you "feel" anything at all today, that makes me smile *~ |

It always takes two for a harmony Love's sweet duet so wild and free... (my variation!) I enjoyed your poem. A nice way to expand upon a thought. I tried this with "Go ahead, lie to me..." when I was in a bad mood, one day. Of course, it was much more negative (and, I took it offline, too!). It helped me get a grip on things, though. |
