MY NEW FAMILY OF FRIENDS I am so glad I've met my new FAMILY OF FRIENDS.... The joy I'm receiving just has no end You all are so sweet, compassionate and kind.... Some of the greatest people that anyone could find You write of your hurt, of your joy and your wonder.... Some of your secrets even slip out for others to ponder Poets write of the seasons, the stars and the moon.... In some they paint pictures with words and in some sing a sweet tune When a new person appears on this site.... You all welcome him or her with such delight You all are so patient when the new ones make mistakes.... You very gently help each other along with the words it may take So I thank you one and all for helping me along.... Maybe one day I can write all of you a song I love you all and thank you for your welcomes to me.... My new FAMILY OF FRIENDS, I hope a long time to see [This message has been edited by garysgirl (10-07-2002 11:44 AM).] |

Ethel, what a sweetheart you are! Liked the poem, expressing what you think and feel. Very nice, and don't ever apologize like that again. It was "just fine", what you said and how you said.. oh, forgive me, didn't mean to sound like your mother Big, big hug Pat without surrender, be on good terms with all persons... |

Hello Ethel This was such a wonderful outpouring of love and was extremely heartfelt. PIP is like a second home to me and I feel the warmth and love instantly every time I visit here. Although I am far in distance, the words I read and the friends I've made here make the distance disappear. I'm so pleased you found your way here and I wish you many happy times here. Take care......Sue I am in motion |

Thank you for all that you contribute and the nice responses you give. Hugs, Marti Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. |

Oh, Marge, thanks so much for your sweet welcome and your loving comments. I feel like I'm really getting to know all of you sweet special people. Scorpio, (very well said)...."they inspire those of us who are still circling the perimeter of poetry...as we search the way in". I welcome you to our newfound "famly", too. Suetang, thank you so much for your sweet reply. Even though we are all far away in distance, it seems as though we're in each others living rooms, doesn't it? Krissie, thanks for coming around today. I appreciate your comments. Enchantress, sweet, loving lady, thank you so much for your sweet reply. I'm very pleased to be here. Marti, thank you, dear friend. You are so sweet. Oh, yes, Balladeer, it sure is....but a VERY GOOD habit, I do believe. Thank you for leaving a reply to me. BEST WISHES AND LOVE TO ALL OF YOU... Ethel |

Ethel....this poem expressed exactly what I feel. I'm new and I believe I've found a "home away from home". I've found poems that touch me so deeply that my eyes fill with water. I find inspiration in all who are here and all that they write. Including you. Thank you for sharing with us. BTW, you are lucky to have such a great love with Gary. I hope I'm lucky enough to find that one day, but for now I live that love through your writing among many other writing I've read here. Take care, I will see everyone around PIP.

Thank you so much, Steph for your sweet words. And WELCOME to our new found "home away from home". Isn't it wonderful here? I thought that my love for poetry was enormous already, with my love of Classic Poems and all, but the poets here put such human touches to everything. And their comments to everyone are so heartfelt and real. I'm glad that you are a part of this "family of friends", too. With Love To All, Ethel P.S. Oh, yes, I feel very blessed to have the wonderful love of a good man like my Gary. I hope that you, too, will find true love one day, too. Thanks again, Steph. |
