He stood there alone naked of mind, vulnerable so afraid to say to tell "it" to you You told him without ever saying a word through your eyes your smile His courage carried on wings of time wings of tarnished silver and gold feathers astray ever so much but strong of heart of soul Afraid to say it. “It” haunted him so It controlled It was him From him grew the mighty redwood standing tall among the fires of hell staring “It” in the face winning, once again. Whispering thank you to the brightness shining through mighty limbs... He lives as she smiles |

  (smiles) Oh my gosh, I just know the one you speak of in this write will be so delighted when he reads this, you are such a wonderful friend to us all and I know you are one of the main reasons he smiles everyday having a loving friend such as you! (sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

You've touched on the goodness of relationships, Magnus... some things can just go without saying... that's where understanding comes from... |

Whispering thank you to the brightness shining through mighty limbs... He lives as she smiles And I smiled as I read especially this verse. To live as she smiles...what more can we ask? Forgetting all I'm lacking |

Noah, true friendship and understanding through hardships and believing, knowing that they are there, that they see the soul as never seen or felt before... knowing that sometimes just understanding means a great deal...means more than life itself.. |

Karilea, this was my way of expressing thanx to a friend who understood, who listened, who knows and who will always be that true friend in my heart. Through good times...and through the trials of life lived and life being lived... |

When one has overcome adversity and seen the smile of a friend...who understands.. What greater gift...than life itself... Thanx Duncan... |

Mushy, darling girl...the friendship of understanding, of caring enough to know when a heart carries the trust of another. Even as we stand before the gate... is a blessing... thank you... Martie, yes and yes!! I am truly blessed to have several friends who have this quality within... And this is my way of saying thank you...to one that has shown me a great deal of support during a moment of my life that has been somewhat difficult.... |
