When I am lost and life is in disarray When I can’t find simple words that will say When my heart is heavy from the pain Of a stormy day of thunder and hard rain When I need to feel the comfort of your arm When life is tearing and hornets seem to swarm When I fell down and cracked my fragile shell You were there to listen, understand and help me When I fell |

God this hits home. It is so nice if we have someone to pick us up when we fall. I needed this today Magnus, thank you. Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal. |

GS... You are very welcome... I know too well the pain of feeling lost in a moment. I also know the warmth of a hug, a word of kindness... I give and accept hugs without reservation. Hugs to you this day... |

Magnus, sometimes we fall so many times we need a trampoline beneath us, it's nice when we have someone who can do that for us. Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Kethry... Most important is that we all fall at one time or another...Learning how to stand on our own that we may one day support is the priceless gift we can give to those who have helped us when we have fallen... |

Magnus darling heart this is absolutely beautiful your writing content and style consistently superb and this is as always absolutely perfect. You r writing always brings me the feeling that my soul has been washed by your wondrous words of beauty. How beautiful the words in this are, the flow is as smooth as silk, the phrasing perfect, and the timing is absolutely spot on. Without a doubt you are the best at capturing a thought in a net of wonder. Again you paint a picture with your words and it is simply exquisite, always you shine like the star you are Life is sometimes a disappointment, but I’m never disappointed when I read one of your bright and shining jewels of wordy wonder. For lifting my spirits when they are down For giving me a smile when I want to frown For taking my hand when I need a friend For being there always until the end For showing me the way when I am lost For taking the time never counting cost For all this and more I say thank you For being a friend who sees me through Marsha    Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |

It is so good when there is someone... to lean on when things are difficult... I "felt" the words... the emotions... |

 (big hugggssssssss) They say only you alone can make yourself happy, yet I feel that it is very special to have that special somebody who keeps your chin up when you feel down and makes you feel loved! (sigh) This is a dream I wish for so very much too, sweet friend, this is compassionately wonderful, 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..." Shakira [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (06-29-2002 02:21 PM).] |

a great sin it might be to neglect a saying of thanks to friends as only a true companion may heal the pain that shows not on the outside (great work, Magnus! a loving caring write, ami!) JkF |
