A simple gesture a random act of kindness bestowed on an empty soul, you reached right in and took hold bonds tied not by apron strings but through threaded words. In silent nights of starry skies you dreamed with me and when the sun was darkened by clouds of day you showered your light lighting my way. I did not know your touch but I felt you holding my hand... when my tears fell I felt you brush them away as any mother would when giving love to her child... Mother... I could not claim that sacred name for my own but I cherished it in this heart that has been touched with the love of you... {with much love to a woman who has touched me as much as the mother that I never knew.. because I can.. with much love... dedicate this to you...  }If I have touched one heart with my words, then I have acheived my goal.. on the wings of words our spirits fly and our souls are free |

The woman to whom this is dedicated is the fortunate one for having you in her life... random acts of kindness... reap much in the way of backwash... Well done, and Congratulations on your 7,000th post, Donna. You've achieved many things, but mostly, you've garnered many friendships with your gentle spirit... |

Kari? mum.... and thanks... me thinks the sun is shining brightly!!   Nancy, thank you. As you know, I grew up without my mother so for me to feel this way about her.. is truly special to me. This was the only way I could think of to thank her for her love and support. Hugs to you sweet lady. |

Donna, wonderful words to someone who sounds as if she epitomises the word mother, whether biological or substitute. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

I love this: "bonds tied not by apron strings but through threaded words." The most unique image in your poem ... and yes, touches the heart. Thank you for this beautiful piece (and for welcoming me to Passions)! |

Peace to all, hugs. ~D~ {I wanna cry like the rain Cry like the rain Shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin' Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin' Fight with the devil and go down swingin' Fly like a bird Roll like a stone Love like I aint afraid to be alone Take everything that this world has to give I wanna take any breath I can get I wanna live } Josh Gracin [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (07-30-2004 11:32 AM).] |
