It will be my 3rd Anniversary here at AllPoetry on August 18th and I couldn't help but share it with all my dear friends and family upon this wondrous site.
I was inspired to join by the encouragement of Josh, Ap poet ~ Crazyfoo, and for that I THANK YOU!!! My very first 2 friends I made on here were Timothy (Poeticweawer) and Brian (Soul Catcher ~ also known as Haunted-Memory). Since then my friends have grown tenfold and more!!! One dear friend, Mike (Silent Cougar) even designed my AP Sigtag avatar for me out of love and everlasting friendship. My friend amd brother (Intanglio2Ring) gifted me with one of his precious Figural pets, I had named Thosfe. (thosfe= Two Hearts One Soul Friends Eternal) ALL my friends are and always shall be GOLDEN wonders upon my soul!! I Wish I had the time and space to say what each one of my friends mean to me and what makes each one special deeply within my heart and enlivens my spirit, cherished uniquely but there's not enough room on here to do so!! I love you all!!! I just hope you know how much you mean to me. One very special dear and Honorable friend, Tim ~ LionsLove shares my birthday.

Lotus Flower Meaning
Lotus flower has often been described as the most exquisite wishes of the Mother Nature for the mankind. The lingering fragrance of the lotus flowers holds the perfect potential of bringing a tender smile on anybody's lips. The importance of the lotus flowers is so great for the mankind that many traditional and spiritual meanings have also been attributed to them. The Lotus flower meanings hold in themselves the secret of happiness and cheerfulness.
The Lotus flower symbolizes the clarity of heart as well as the mind. In other words the Lotus flower represents strength, good luck, long life as well as honor and respect. Some scholars have even talked of the lotus flower being a universal representation of the spiritual presence in human lives.
The lotus flower basically represents holiness, good wishes, purity and positive energy ~ in life, love, and friendship.

If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me. ~~ Author Unknown

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on September 21, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 3000, Silver: 1500, Bronze: 1000, Honorable mention: 9 people
- Final notes: Firstly, I must say I had to instill the assistance of my beautiful and poetically creative sister, Kim, mysticstorm http://allpoetry.com/mysticstorm to help finalize my results. Thank you Sis. xxx
Secondly, I have to say I have had deep and intense contests in the past but this one took me to the max with emotions with every write. I haven't cried so much in a long time as friendship is held in the highest regard in my heart as the entries breathed life into my spirit. It has been a very hard contest to judge in regard to friendship and hope for everlasting tomorrows. I have read and reread every entry and pondered for at least a week and still I always worry and stress someone will be disappointed by decisions I make. Cherish your friendships with a true and pure heart.
GOLD not only expressed friendship but also brought forth the spirit of my soul and the inner strength i try to possess not only in life but in the magic and love I have working with the children whom spark a light in my being hence brought forth from my birth to the meaning of my name being an angel's light. SILVER spoke profoundly of the shared love and compassion and trust shared in a true and lasting friendship whom also grew in 3 years time from aquaintance friends to siblings for life whom have embraced each others' lives with hope and pray to relinquish each others burdens and shine our sunshine and rainbows for each other. BRONZE not only expressed in words but in true spirit the message of the quote used giving of themselves the honor of their friendship to all and the journeys of friends travel with smiles, love, and laughter to carry our friends held hand in hand. The HMs too brought me to tears of hope and loving promise. One made me miss a very dear friend whom I hadn't heard from in way tooo long and miss him even more. Many spoke of hope, strength and strong wills and the ability to stand beside our friends in the good and the rough times shared. All were well deserving of gold, silver, or bronze as well if I was capable to do so but cuz I can't each will receive an additional bounty of points added to their AP 30 points.
** IF any of you DON'T want your write placed with honor upon my page in regard to this contest of friendship please IM me by end of the month -
Again THANK YOU for your entries and many blessings always. I am honored by every one of you who helped in partaking of my AP celebrations ending on my birthday.
