The day we met through our friend Bud
was the beginning of a strong friendship.
Morning and night we always say hello
good morning, goodnight, we never miss,
you are my sweet Canadian friend.
You are going through a bad time now
one that is tearing you apart inside
tears you cannot stop from flowing.
Wish that I could reach out and hug you
hold you in my arms and comfort you
wipe away the tears, bring back a smile.
Remember the good times my sweet
the time you watched the bird sitting
on your windowsill, what pleasure
It gave you, how you laughed!
The geese you shared with me
how beautiful they were in the lake
outside your window.
Kalen dear friend, I am here for you
so take a deep breathe and smile
all will work out, you will see.
Just have faith in yourself again
Go with your heart, listen to it,
Know that I love you very much.

Kalen is well because of friends like you
the generous words that you share so true.
Friends are friends when the chips are low
That gentle shoulder where our tears can flow
in your loving words and gentle prayer
It is easy for one to see you truly care.

My Dearest Joan,
My sister and friend. You are always there for everyone. I am sure Kalen would want you to know that she would do the same for you, be there. Your words of encouragement, and inspiration are beautiful. How could our little sister/friend not do better behind this positive message you write in your poetry. We are all giving hugs for this precious young one and her sister. I know with her in our hearts and prayers all will be well. This is so like you Joan, so from the heart. No need for luck in the contest because win or lose these words will always ring true! I LOVE YOU!!!

Thank you Joan! I love you
Joan,
Thank you so very much. I love you with all my heart. You know that. We do always chat with each other -whomever is going to bed first or who just woke up. You are such an inspiration to me and I thank you deeply for that. Just a little something -in the pond it is geese, not swans unless you were talking about the pictures I sent you of swans that one time. Love you tons. And thank you again.

Oh dear,
I got all teary eyed reading this poem. I remember Kalen sharing the story about the bird on the window sill as well.
We learn from our hard times, and that is what makes us stronger. It is an easier thing said than done. Kalen has a strong family and friends, so she will get through.
Thanks for writing such a moving, personal piece for her.
What a wonderful photo of Kalen (or is it Kristina
)

Dear Kalen and Joan,
I am so sorry to read from Joan's poem that Kalen is passing through a sad period. Without knowing the circumstances or cause I want to say "hold fast to your faith and better times will come as surely as day follows night."
Kalen, you have a love and appreciation of beauty and nature which is not gifted to everyone. This will help you through.
Thank you Joan for this lovely supportive poem for Kalen who I know is very close to your heart. I applaud your tribute and wish you best of luck in the contest.
Love and hugs, XXX Hugh. -
very nice
"tears you cannot stop from flowing.
Wish that I could reach out and hug you
hold you in my arms and comfort you
wipe away the tears, bring back a smile." so nice dear Angelica. Your friendliness is reflected in these line! Kalen is my lovely child and my nice words go to her as well. I wish her all happiness and fine life ahead
