Inside my words
Are the deeper parts that exude truthfulness
Where memories abound with striking resonance
I remember so well
Even when I don't want to
Even when tears fall
But
Most of all
I smile, when I think of precious moments
When we talked
Laughed
Shared those times, when no words were even needed
Sensitive and seamless in the woven blanket of our friendship
Now my words are there for all time
And those deep ribbons that tie them together
Hold fast
And each memory beckons the times to come
Bringing with them the gift
Not expensive is it, the gift from a friend

What beautiful words you have wrote here
You and Maureen were two of the first people I met on here
Since then I have met countless others
But you two were there from day one
Thanks for all the chats on messenger and IM
And for being there before you got to be a moderator
And for being there now as both a friend and mod as well
Where would we be if we didn't have friends???
I shudder to even think of it
I do thank you for being mine for listening, caring,sharing, laughter, surgerys, crying, e mails and the best gift of all just
You !!!!
You don't know how much you mean to me
I hope if you ever want to vent, laugh,cry, etc you know I am here for ya
I love sis Gill
And thanks for the distance in miles friendship
You are a gem
Love ya sis Gill
Susan
Your sis

The best kind of gift to offer really
It's unconditional.. -
I don't have many , but those I do have I'd guard with my
life...this just captures the essence of all it means to
be a friend to someone...so much warmth and caring in your
words...

Lovely gift you've got, Gill - and sharing it freely, adds to it ... A well structured poem; written with sensitivity and with a truthful heart - two characteristics provital for friendship. Thank you for being the friend that you are - constantly there for all who may need you. And thank you for using your poetry as a vechicle to reach me from a distance!
Hugs,

Great!
This is simply beautiful. The gift to write is so astounding, and then to share those feeling with words to a friend is the best. I was in a play a few years ago that spoke these simple words
regarding poetry; "But it be a gift". This poem is a gift u to all who read it. Thank you! :)"Sensative and seamless in the woven blanket of our friendship". Exquisite! Nice feature!
Peace

Not expensive in some way........ but priceless in another. It's such an easy thing to give and to receive....... but so hard to find at the same time. I think we're lucky if we end up with two or three "real" unconditional friends by the end of our lives. Just my thought..... maybe because I live in LA? lol

This is such a lovely poem of expression of a beautiful love for a friend. For a friend to know that something they said or did penetrated that dark place of despair is the highest compliment they could ever receive.

Gill, this is so beautiful- the blessings of friendship are indeed a treasure. When growth blooms from those seeds from love within the heart that is the bestest gift of all and ones time.
Being there for another both good times or bad sharing together in fellowship....Lovely inspirational piece...... * * * * 10 stars ******
Love and hugs, Sherry

Aww Gill you and I have the same vision sometimes. Yes the most precious things in this world are free. It took me forever to learn that, now I want to teach it. You did a beautiful job with this poem my friend.

This is simply beautiful
Nothing compares to the joy and serenity true friendship can bring to your life
You are one of the first friends I made on here, since you, I've met many more, it would be nice to meet everyone one day, but I know thats an impossible dream, unless I win the lottery
, if I do, I'm coming to UK, just to see you and Nat
Meantime, I keep treasuring my real-life friendships
Hugs and Love ,
Karen
