A Beautiful Story In Pictures Via Mom
Every day – at the same time – she waits for him…
He comes… and they go for a walk
Wouldn’t it be great if we all had friends like this…no words needed…they just intuitively recognize the value of each other in their lives and act accordingly.

Internet Friend – 30 Day Letter Writing Challenge; Letter 8
(image source: photobucket.com)
However can I choose one
to pick of all you
for there is no way
that this I can do
I have so very many
new friends that I’ve met
since I first started posting
this blog on the net
And truly I do cherish
each of you out there
while I personally have started
with some my life to share
Want you all to know
what to me you mean
because you are the best
and there’s no in between
Thank you all for being
so caring and so kind
for without all of you
I’d have lost my mind!

Where Is The One?
(Image Source: my.opera.com)
Where is the one
who will accept me
for who I am
not what they see?
Where is the one
if they don’t agree
will leave it alone
and let me be?
Where’s the one when
push comes to shove
that stands behind me
rising beyond and above?
Where is the one
when I’m thought of
who sees my quirks
as something to love?
Where is the one
with whom I’m free
to tell my secrets
and won’t betray me?
Where is the one
who’s the most truthfully
just as loyal as
I thought they’d be?
Is there not one
friend to the end
who over backwards
for me would bend?
Isn’t there one person
with whom I blend
so very well that
my life they’d defend?
If all these things
for them I’d do
should I not expect
the same then too?
Where is the one
that’s tried and true
and that does everything
that they promise to?
Dear God, I pray
You’d bless me with one
good trustworthy friend
before my life’s done
And yet I know
if there are none
to be found on earth
You’re my fan # One!

They Say
They say so many things
about how we live life
and what we should do
dealing with pain and strife
“If life gives you lemons
make lemonade with them”
instead of them saying how
you should handle a problem
“If life’s a bowl of cherries
why am I in the pits?”
I think might be one
that everyone actually gets
“If you step on a crack”
doesn’t really break your mother’s back
Does “you scared me to death”
ever cause a heart attack?
“Drunk as a skunk” is
truly a strange one indeed
How did “a skin flint”
come to warn of greed?
As “Monkey see monkey do”
is a follower some way
but why is that not
just what we say?
Why use so many terms
to say what you mean?
Tell it like it is
and leave no in between
When communication breaks down
could this not be why?
To have a good relationship
we clearly have to try!

Before All Of You
Before all of you
Friends had become few
Those I once knew
Faded out of view
Before all of you
The loneliness that grew
Through my life blew
Like a wornout shoe
This rose I give to
My friends old and new
Because I value you
And the things you do!

My Sunday Morning Thoughts – Friends, Old and New
Friends, whether old or new, are a valuable gift that God gives us to help smooth the way through this life that we live here on earth.
Usually undervalued in our adolescence, taken for granted in younger years, finally appreciated in mid-life and dearly missed in elder days.
There are acquaintances, friends, close friends and those who become like family.
Over the years, I have had plenty of them all and wasted most of them.
There are those who don’t give me a second thought, those who bear me no ill-will, those who remember me fondly and would be glad to see me if out paths should cross and then there are some whom I’m sure dearly miss me.
I had to break a lot of close friendships when I got away from the alcohol scene and then again when Mark and I removed ourselves from the drugs. I miss some of those people a lot at times.
There are a few that are not of that culture anymore, for whatever reasons, that I have renewed friendship with.
There are new friends that I have made and new kids that I have “adopted”. Some are real and others are “cyber”, but all are cherished for what they are – gifts!
Some of you may remember me talking about one such “adopted” child of mine who recently got out of prison for vehicular manslaughter. A tragic case that resulted in two deaths and several lives destroyed. At the same time, there was a life saved in the outcome – his. I have no doubt that his life was probably saved in the long run by this event as mine was by the MS. I will be thrilled to see my “son” today when he comes to visit Sara and I on his “free pass” from house arrest.
He could not be any better to me than if he were my own biological son. He still calls me “Mom” and never hangs up or says goodbye without saying “I love you, mom!” He is gracious and solicitous. He calls to “just check on me” and see how I’m feeling. He has been very concerned about the current situation that is going on concerning myself and Sara and often calls to see how everything is going with that. He is definitely family and one of the best people that my eldest daughter ever introduced me to. (There have been a handful of her friends that have remained my “children” over the years.)
I must add as I close that I do have some new “cyber-children” that I have recently adopted that are also great gifts to me (and you all know who you are 
). I have also met some very special new “friends” here in the cyber-culture that I would be a lesser person had I not met them. You are all cherished!!!
Always remember that Jesus died for us because He loves us!
With love and blessings,
Terri

Being A Friend
In life we want
to have plenty friends
But if we do
it really all depends
For to deserve them
we must then be
A friend to them
first, don’t you see?
If you only want
them there for you
Yet the very same
you don’t wanna do
Then a true friendship
neither of you’ve got
And to be your friend
I certainly would not!
