First off A tribute to one of my best friends....

kathryn

gauze of golden waves
we hardly had time
to swallow
the thing
which made most sense
she was
rich black soil
transplanting
spring's sun
creating magik
from the middle
of nowhere
a sister of music
with words
painter of prose
how beautifully
she embraced
her space in life
salvaging great light
from past transitions
her throat fumbled
formal apologies
within green lawns
of home baked cookies
her season's passing
still shower us
like a humming bird
dripping nectar
through clusters
of gardens
she packed love
in our lunches
everyday
wrapping us in scarves of
hopscotch & flowers
sending us
skipping down the street
with diamonds in our pockets
the album opens
she appears
in a white dress
her flowers bloom
again

there will be
a goodness in life
sorely missed

thank you


Some people are forunate and endowed with the greatest and most expensive of material things....

I...well, I'm a very rich woman....I've been blessed by the people I've met, who were very instrumental in giving my life a most positive inspiration....

I've started this thread as a tribute, to our positive friends and role models who helped us through life, picking us up and setting us down on the right path.

The friends I've made in life are priceless...and there is no material thing that could ever give me, what these folks, have given me. Even my boss...with whom I don't see eye to eye with...has crossed my path for a reason. Most of my friends are those kind of people whom you can't find any fault with...you know the ones...they are kind and considerate...they're listeners...steadfast and loyal...they have no expectations and love me unconditionally....

and I'm going to name some....Kathryn, my son David, Anita, Trudy and Dick, Joanne, MaryAnn, Jamie, Ronnie, Roy, Linda, my Aunt Mae, Mr. and Mrs. Lehmen, Dot and Johnny, Chrissie, Jane, Janet, Kathy, Liz, Sherry, Kath, Kelly, MartiJo, Annie and Cheryl

These people have been loyal friends for whom life wouldn't be the same without them...

and for them...I am grateful....

and so...
please
share stories...would love to hear positive stories of the gems in your lives...

thanks
Hugs
Creme

So nice of you to say...

I would like to mention SS, my SO that has been the best friend I could ever have. He's everything I could wish for and so much more.

Other people I've been lucky to know; Rodney, Mitch, Maggie, Carol, Ida, Judy, Mario, Frank, Janet, Linda, Kim, Val, Rose, Bob

Creme, what a beautiful tribute.....thanks for sharing.

Many people have impacted my life, but none more than my parents, Jim & Eve and my children Jeremiah, Lindsey, Graham & Candice. Friends.....come and gone....Adele, Cathy, Karen, Rhean, Kathy, Shadi, Judy, Jo & Sue, Ean & Ian, Cliff, William, Pauline...& Uncle Billy, to mention a few

I am so proud to be my father's daughter, and equally proud and blessed to be my children's mother.
