"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers,
for thereby some have entertained
angels unawares."
Hebrews 13:2
"THANK YOU, JESUS"
Seems I am so earnest in asking
And so slow to say, "Thank You"
I pray for an answer, And am surprised when it comes
You have never forsaken me
Or given me more than I could bear
Why can't I learn to trust you in all things?
Why don't I remember all Your answers from the past?
Thank you Jesus for listening
Even when I ask half-heartedly
For answering
When I don't have enough faith to rely solely on you
For reaching down to me in love
When I push you so far away
You've promised to walk beside me, come what may
To love me, guide me and be my Best Friend
Thank you Jesus for showing me once again
You're promises are true
And, Jesus, thanks for being You

"FOREVER FRIEND"
Once the package of friendship
has been opened,
it can never be closed.
It is a constant book always written...
waiting to be read...
and enjoyed.
We may have our disagreements...
we may argue...
we may concern one another...
friendship is a unique bond...
that lasts through it all...
A part of me is put into my friends...
some it is my humor...
some it is my listening ear
some it is real life experiences...
some it is my romanticism...
but with all, it is friendship
Friendships forged are a construct,
Stronger than steel built as a foundation...
Necessary for Life...
and Necessary for Love.
Friends, you and me...
you brought another friend...
and then there were 3...
We started our group...
Our Circle of Friends...
and like that Circle...
there is no beginning or end....

"Are We Friends ?"
Written with a pen,
Sealed with a Kiss
If you are my Friend
Please answer this:
Are we friends,
Or are we not?
You told me once,
But I forgot.
So tell me now,
And tell me true.
So I can say.......
"I'm here for you."
Of all the friends
I've ever met,
Your're the one
I won't forget.
And if I die,
Before you do,
I'll go to heaven
And wait for you.

"SPECIAL ANGEL"
(Down Syndrome Birth)
As beautiful angels wings were flying over the streets of gold,
the baby angels could only watch since they weren't very old.
Then one day God stopped to talk to a little one without wings,
He said, "your day will come soon and all the angels will sing".
Confused yet excited the little one said to the Lord,
"But I'm different from the others God and not a miracle to behold".
"Oh, but yes you are," He said with a hug and smile on his face.
"You're the greatest gift I can give and a loving home you will grace".
You mean, tho I'm different and will never be beautiful or smart
Someone will want me and give me a place in their heart?"
"Gee God.....that person must be special to be glad to have me,
Cause most folks would frown and upset they would be."
God said, "your little heart was filled with more love than most.
Cause I knew this family would love you and hold you real close.
So go my little angel and take the greatest gift I can bestow.
Your that "special" angel few people have the honor to know."
~By Sandy Eakle~
As two ships passing in the night,
So quietly neath the stars soft light;
Our paths cross but now and then
Reaching out, seeking one another again.
We say hello and then we part,
Knowing we've shared a piece of our heart.
Some friendships stay and sadly some go.
My prayers remain steady hoping ours will grow.
I ache when you're hurting,
I cry when you're sad.
Wanting to comfort and hold you so bad.
Know that I'm waiting here, with open arms,
To share all your troubles and relish your charms.
I have nothing to offer but the soul of a friend,
Strong shoulders to lean on that don't easily
I offer these freely with no strings attached,
For in caring and sharing you'll not meet my
So on some long and lonely night
When nothing seems to go just right
Close your eyes and think of me,
Under the moon's glow is where I'll be.
