    I'm not much of a poet, Trev is the writer in this house, but I wrote a few lines earlier today about my feelings for him and my friends on the board, and he is encouraging me to post them, so here goes

    "When"

    When I was lost, you helped me find myself
    When I was in chains, you helped me to break free
    When I had no one to turn to, you were always there
    When I was blind, you helped me to see

    When I was down, you helped me up
    When I cried, you helped dry my tears
    When I felt weak, you gave me strength
    When I was afraid, you calmed all my fears

    When I felt guilty, you helped me feel better
    When I felt threatened, you kept me from harm
    When I was doubting, you showed me the best way
    When I was angry, you were always calm

    When I needed to talk, you were there to listen
    When I needed company, you did not depart
    When I was needy, you gave me all you had
    When I needed love, you gave me all your heart

    Not much of a poet? I have to disagree. That was so beautiful. You have been such a huge contributor to this board.

    Thank you for sharing that - I think you underestimated your poetic skills

    Thanks Emo, I don't write much. It's the first poem I've ever written that anyone apart from Trev has seen, and he had to twist my arm a bit to post it.

    That is beautiful! Linda you have treated others in like manner.

    You are one of those "one in a million" people. You are not pretentious. You are not self-righteous. You are not self-serving. You have a lot of love in your heart for others. You are intelligent. You are a beautiful person inside and out. And I feel blessed to be one of your friends.

    Peace,

    Juni

    We are glad Trevor did a bit of the arm twisting there. Linda like Purps said - we are just reflecting back at you what you have done for us.
