tie a scarf on that beautiful head and head into the chill wind for it's not the end of the world as you know it, even though it may seem to be blowing apart day-by-day and all you had was nearly washed away YOU are the original survivalist I've read your words ~FELT them~ sometimes laughing, sometimes crying but always, always ~FEELING~ YOU reeling us in with your heartbeat and imagery US, amiable fish searching for your unique bait each day we await your return we will be swimming around these blue waters in anticipation |

A scarf, a muffler, some knitted mitts... whatever will keep her warm... and then multiply with love. |

Midnitesun this poem is beautiful in it's imagery, even more so in it's purpose. I "Felt" it. |

Yup for Karen and you I have the perfect neck tie! It is an honor to participate with such wonderful ladies. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

This is wonderful and most of all, true. She is an incredibly strong, talented woman and soon she shall return with glory. |

oh my...with tears in my eyes and a smile on my face, I must confide one of the dumber things I said during my adventure. In a really bad mood one afternoon, I said, with all seriousness, "If one more person calls me a strong woman, I'm gonna punch their [expletive] teeth down their throat!" Sheesh I was so serious too. Gawd I love ya lady, and gawd I love this place. I wanna come home! thank you |

So Kacy, you might keep them in the glass for now! If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Kacy, Good write, and Serenity.. Fully understood. Too often we who are told, "You are so strong" are just acting a part... But it is the only way I know to survive...so it works. welcome home, martyjo |

I came back to thank you properly, lovie. It occurred to me someone who didn't know our ways might consider my reply disrespect, but you, do know better. Love you lady, and smile, just before I read this poem, I told a friend of ours my roof was not covered with a blue tarp, but a silver lining. You are soooooooooo in tune.... thanks again sistah mine |
