"This page is dedicated to my
          "Special Internet Friend, Marsha"
          it was her poem on my home page
          which brought us together as friends.
          On this page are two writings that she
          gave to me personally. Please do not
          remove them as I consider them a very
          special gift, from a very dear friend.
          They are here for your enjoyment."

          "Take time to have a cup of tea with a friend."

          "Thank you for being my friend"

          This is for no special day
          but for a very special person.
          I just want to say thanks
          for being you... You have a
          glorious way of making the day
          seem wonderful just when you appear...
          You have this way of making
          people feel so at ease
          when you are near... And that
          infectious laughter of yours
          is so catching and seems
          to spread sheer happiness
          wherever you go... And whenever
          there is something bothering me,
          you know just what to say...
          I do not tell you often enough
          how glad I am that we are friends.
          But I want you to know you make
          such a beautiful difference in my life.
          And if I could, I would give you
          endless sunsets signed with love
          at the close of each day...but
          since I can't, I want you to know
          that as each day ends and
          another begins-my friendship
          will be there with each one.
          Thank you for being my friend.
          You are a true blessing.

          "FRIENDS FOR LIFE"

          We are more than just friends-we are
          friends for life... For that is what
          we have shared with each other...the best
          and the worst of times have all blended
          into one beautiful portrait... When I first
          met you, I had no idea we would become
          best friends and even more... We are
          soul mates...for sometimes without a word,
          you know what I am thinking... You are
          loyal beyond words... Committed to me
          and to what I believe in. You are the
          essence of what is good in this world...
          And you are a source of so much joy...
          You are the sum total of the word
          "Friend" and even more you are
          the one person who knows all
          about me and loves me anyway...
          So thank you for being my friend,
          my soul mate. You water my soul
          and help me grow. You are cherished
          beyond words.
          Thank you for being in my life..
