The glass gallon jar Soaked up the sun And split into broken pieces The clean-up never ceases When hot and cold become one. Storms above us Hot and cold Thunderous breakings Goosebump shakings Even lightning sucks its thumb! I’m running hot and cold today As I think about a friend; Within me is so much compassion That a container can’t contain it But, fact is, compassion is not a hand. I wish upon my friend A pat upon a back, A smile to fill the air Immersing one in warmth And the knowledge that I care. ~cathy |

Enchantress, The luck runs both ways. My friend helped me through one of the hardest times in my life. Thank you for your sweet words. You're wonderful. miscellanea/cathy Nightshade, You don't know how I value your responses. You and your sister are very dear to me. Matter-of-fact, everyone here is just incredible! Love this place! miscellanea/cathy suthern, You're right; it came straight out of the heart. Thanks, Sweetie. miscellanea/cathy |

This has a beautiful touch - mis'c, of your warmth and friendship. A lovely gift of support. Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Cathy, =================== Even lightning sucks its thumb! =================== How very funny! And as for friends it seems you rank among the best. Excellent write. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

I gotta say how much I like this AND it's full of nature. Gotcha again. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
