I Will Be There While you are going, know that I go with you, although when you look you will not see, and you will look, I know; you’ll feel me there, and when you turn toward me I will not appear. Please, only for me, do this: When you do feel me, when you know the sense of me and cannot bear to hold your eyes away, then look to where I really am; look inward, find the place where love dwells. I will be be there. |

How deep, how high is love, It seems from your write it has no boundaries. I can only echo 1_slick_lady..."Oh my!" Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Ed, I know that you only wrote a very few words here......but, my friend, I feel that so much more is hidden underneath these words. I really don't know what to say to make things better. Could anyone other than this person these words are written for? Then, I really don't think many words would be necessary...... Heart hugs to you, Ed...... ![]() ![]() ![]() Ethel |

Thank you! You're right! We DO have similar thoughts! I'm sure these thoughts are universal ~ also past, present and into infinity! HOWEVER, To each his/her own! We each have a unique right brain, creative way of expressing the SAME feelings. THIS. my poetic friend, is what makes us WHO we ARE! Blessings! Shirl 'Tiz feathers that make the bird - |
