Like a little bird
with a broken wing
Wondering if ever
she'll again sing

Or if she can
once more fly
Wondering, asking
questions why

Then along comes
a special friend
Offering a hand
to her lend

Then she mended well
the little bird
With words of love
from another heard

So if together we,
you and I,
Will help our friend
again she'll fly

Thank you, Karen for the compliment....

I was so touched by Dixie's post I read about the "Broken Wings",
that I thought of a little bird. I hope she likes this. She's a
very sweet, compassionate person and i get mad about her
being treated like she is. Again, thank you, friend.......

Oh Ethel!

I sware, girl, what am I gonna do with you? This just touches me beyond anything I've felt in a very long time!

I'm so glad that I could inspire you to write such a piece, a beautiful piece of art like this, for me. I truly am blessed to have you and all of these wonderful caring loving people here at Passions!
Thank you for this. I'll keep this forever.

Thanks to all of you who replied, to this, and to Sue's poem for me too. I just don't know how to express how much you all mean to me.

Love to all, Dixie

Sharing your words with Dixie is one of the greatest gifts you could have given her. A very nice poem.

Deep caring is often difficult to express, (I'm a man, I ought to know) but you did it very well. KenJ
