There may be times when you feel lonely
But you will never be alone
When you need someone to comfort you
You can call my heart your home

Just take a look over your shoulder
And no matter where you are
I will be right there behind you
Your ever faithful guardian star

I will comfort you and hold you
And tell you things will be alright
I will cradle you in my arms
Throughout the cold and lonely night

I'll paint more colors in your rainbow
And put a light inside your heart
I'll build a bridge between us
So we will never be far apart

As a friend you can rely on me
Any hour of any day
And to you I will come running
I'll bring my love to light your way

So when I hear you say 'I need you'
Always know that I'll be there
My friendsip ever faithful
Showing you how much I care

* * * *

To my dearest friend, Lyra who needs
our love and support at this time.

* * * *

My friend is like a bark rounding a tree
He warms like sun on a Winter day
He cools like water in the hot noon
His voice is ready as a Spring bird
He is my friend and I am his

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Sue,
You always have the ability to fill exactly the need a friend would know. Well done. I'll always love your style and value your friendship. Sweet write.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Thank you so much for this one, dear Sue...
I found it to be so very comforting...

I AM very scared right now, but I am still fighting hard... and I have a wonderful medical team to assist me... they are angels in white coats and if there is anything at all which can be done... they will find it.

~ big thank you hugs from the fighting chipmunk

Thank you so much for inspiring me to keep on with my writing. You always leave me with a smile.

Dear Lyra

My humble words do little to express how I feel and I can't begin to imagine what you are going through. I do know that you are a lady of strength and vitality and I know through your love and the love of others you will pull through this.

Take care

Love Sue

Sue, this is tremendous comfort for Lyra. You are indeed a gifted and loving friend and just knowing how many people are praying and pulling for her, brings her great joy.

Hugs, Marti

what a beautiful tribute to a fine lady we all love! I missed this one the first go round, but I'm glad I went back in the back pages

Lyra, God is with you and so are we. I hope there is something that can be done. You have so much more love to spread aroud.
