I had a good friend i thought that really cared. After eighteen years i realized it was my husband we shared. I tossed both of them away to show them i didnt really care. Then i married this lovely man who had so much love to share. And one day i met a lady who wanted to be a good friend indeed But i let her know a really good friend i did not need But most every day she called me on the phone I would think why cant she leave me alone Now when i call her she can tell if my heart is troubled And she will rush to my side right on the double She reaches out her arms to full length And takes my hand to give me strength My friend has such a big giving heart I am thankful in my life i let her be a part Now my dear friend i am proud to say. I am happy to have a friend like you today [This message has been edited by carol (02-03-2003 02:50 PM).] |

it can be so easy to stay away from friends. And as the other, it can be easy to give up on someone. Thanks the Lord for friends like this. I like this  Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |

Thank you very, very much, Carol. You already know that you made me cry with this poem awhile ago when you read it to me on the phone before you posted it. It brings back a lot of memories of when we first met when ya'll first came to our Church. I knew that you had been hurt really bad when I first met you, but not the total way you had been hurt, until you gradually started confiding in me. I'm just glad that we all became such good friends. Look at all the laughs, tears, good times and bad that we've all shared together over the years. Well, I've got to close before the tears start again, now. Thank you so much for this. I know that it's from your heart. . . With love and hugs from your friend, Ethel...garysgirl...Sadie...Esther...goof-ball...lol  |

Nicely said. It is kind of funny how women who should support one another, try their best to buddy-up to you when they know they have "stolen" your husband or partner and you are unaware. Even better to catch them in that lie...as I did. They always say that the man went astray, but it's the women you have to watch who want what you have, and think they are going to have it all... how little they know... sorry Carol...memories rising today from your post and Ethel's reply. I try not to be bitter...but I have learned when women want to get too close to you, they usually have an ulterior motive. M ** sorry, forgot I was in my Alice mode  [This message has been edited by Alicethruglass (02-03-2003 03:38 PM).] |

Alice, i am sorry for the pain you went through, but i kind of knew what my husband of 25 years was like but i just didnt suspect my best friend untill he left and moved in with her.But like they say the wife is the last to know. |
