Your steps... soft as a flake of snow yet calculated and pristine. Walking the trail of life’s trials as only you can, cautiously yet methodically, lightly yet unwavering. Your task accepted gracefully and courageously, willingly and generously. Asking for no quarter. You teach wisdom through each act, patience through each thought out pause. Beauty has graced you with a priceless gift, a melting smile. Time has traveled delicately across a brow shading shimmering eyes...mesmerizing. A rose blooms in your life, petals unfold to reveal a majestic vision... Paint, that I might see. Speak, that I might hear. Touch that I might feel softness and warmth. Laugh, that I might smile endlessly. I bow humbly to you... |

Brought tears to my eyes with this one... There are all kinds of love in this world Barry, and friendship is the most pure, sacred and priceless treasure we could share with anyone. It is such a tribute, that is humbly bowed. Beautiful. TD |

Barry, this is so beautiful and full of love. Like Kathleen said, there are all kinds of love in this world, and friendship is one of the most precious. Man, I'm so blessed to be in love with my best friend. I realize more and more every day just how blessed he and I are to have each other. Well, I didn't mean to get so mushey, but this is just like some of the poetry and words he says to me. Thank you, friend, for sharing your heart with us. Heart hugs,  Ethel [This message has been edited by garysgirl (05-10-2003 11:13 AM).] |

Yes, friendship is priceless... A voice, unheard to ears a smile, unseen to eyes a touch, to take the tears a thought, to mesmerize.. |

This is very beautiful and touching, dear Barry. I thought you were talking to your Mother ... Whoever it is, she is a beautiful soul, as are you. Love, Margherita |

The one humbled is your reader...who you touch with the gentle stroke of your vision brush...the one you give strength to...the one you teach of love to...the one you have blessed with your enduring friendship....The one who is enternally thanking God for a man who can touch the magic of life and gift it back to us....ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT!!! |

(smiles) Tread softly and not waste a word! (big hugggssssssss) This is very precious, sweet friend, sometimes I think the best things to say are simple gestures and the twinkle in ones eye, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |
