There Is Nothing Like Coming Home I used to frequent other sites but none had felt like home so I made a daily journey across the internet I'd roam. Then one day in passing some friends had said to me there is this place called PIP where you can post your poetry. So then I visited Passions and I really liked this place it had this very special way of putting a smile upon my face. I read a lot of poems posted a few of my own and in a very short time I realized that I had grown. It was not just mere words that everyone wanted to share these folks were really 'real' and they weren't afraid to care. I thank my friends from the past for showing me the way to PIP the daily journey has finally ended these blue pages are now my daily trip. Whether sharing happiness or sad no one ever need to be alone I have learned the old saying is true there is nothing like coming home. Ya see Passions is not just about poems it's about life and being friends it's more than just words on a page it's a loving circle that never ends. (Thanks to Moonchild and our dear Wilfred Yeats for showing me the way to passions) Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal. {on the wings of words are spirits fly...and our souls are free~me} [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (07-15-2002 09:40 AM).] |

You know this made me cry as you sure speak for me too. I think Ron would be so glad to read the last stanza of this poem as that was his intention to make a place for friends to gather that was safe and friendly, and well run. Your poem is absolutely wonderful, and the sentiments I am sure are shared by us all. I am so glad you found this place and so am I, here's to Ron for making it, and to you and everyone else for making it what it is today! Beauiful job. Nothing means more to me than faith, |

Hello Donna I applaud you and your wonderful words which were so heartfelt and I think summed up the thoughts of many about PIP. It has felt like a second home for me since day one and I feel so fortunate to be able to share my thoughts with an abundance of talented people who are sincere and genuine. Take care......Sue I am in motion |

There's nothing like a rhyme to help me keep the time. And when my thoughts are tumblin' All wretched and a fumblin'. I read these gentle pages Which one cannot buy for wages and bow in humble pose To hearts open like a rose Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

Donna, when I was invited to visit here, I thought it a delight..so much to read, so many styles and forums...and I could barely contain myself inviting those from elsewhere who were tired of the anon games that go on and tired of those who just like to flame to see the reactions. Wilfred was one of the first told, then you and before we knew it, so many of our friends followed us here, making it even cozier. Thank you for trusting me..and yes I miss Bill too...I still have one of his last emails to me in my filing cabinet...and was just a few days short of being able to meet him. He had a special feel for poetry and for his friends (of which he had many) hugsssss and thank you, Maureen (Moonchild) |

I have looked through the archives. He was a good writer, and friend to all it seems. He blessed us when he and Moon brought you here. ![]() |
