SASSY

Her kindly unfailing love, &

devotion, well now I tell:

The little deeds she has done

are now

A heavenly comfort that one's

found

Like an unanswered prayer - a

truer friendship one hath not

found

Her spirit renews one's thoughts,

of simple pleasures

Like the days of my autumn or

winter even spring,

The three sparkles within my

moonlit memory

Again, Knowing you are not

alone......

The fun and smiles shared are

so remembered -

AH THAT COLD WET NOSE!

Moment's Thought

Can I express my feelings, while so many

miles apart

A lost that's dear - but I was not alone

As an ANGEL kissed my tears away.

With a warmth of kindness - through

out these days

As when ANGELS comfort thee.

I call out from the Garden of colors

For like the swish of the painters,

brush

There's a spectrum of color abound

like one gets from the prism of life

Although in the storms, loneliness, etc

the dark patch of black may appear,

falter we must not

Alas the hues of brightness are

wrapping us in their repose

For we again can journey the

gardens path

Footbridge

The season of imagination has me,

wondering so;

As I journey step by step - on my

mind's path.....

Love, hope, yes even admiration

surround us

Y, yes even in a state of confusion,

this adventurous traveler realizes

our 13 years, as a mere mile

stone

Such a hard-bitten journey on this

hearts footbridge

Its meaning well - is said to be known,

Though ever near, the path wanders

afar

Like a slow dream I can feel - a true

passion one can hold.

Wiping a tear from my eye while

walking my heart drifts afar,

Yes, drifts afar for - without my

dreams ...I will not be counting each

step as not to hurt

One's looking to regain self from

persistent hurt for....

My own heart is like a footbridge.

STATUESQUE

Standing there in stature - yes she was

So erect, like she had an alliance

with time

Yet a presence of true fortitude,

She stands in THY PRESENCE

Morning after morning

Day after day

One sees' her flowing hair

AW this beauties embrace....

Such a continuous memory.

Standing there - yes like summers

last rose

A tranquil but painful separation

For amidst the magical cord.......

Was the unfolding BOND of;

FRIENDSHIPS TRUST.
