# In Life And Poetry (For Sandra Fowler)

Rating: 5.0


Let me be your friend
If not in life
Than in poetry

I will be your friend
(You do not need to ask me)

Let us share our pain and loneliness
Let us share our hopes, our happiness
Let us share our tears, our fears
Let us remind each other why we’re here

Let us share our fervid dreams
Let us share our haunting memories….

…virgin snow…. pale light on blue windows….
stricken leaves, hurtling down a December stream…

Let us write our fervent lines
In search of the sublime
Let us read our humble rhymes
In praise of the Divine

Yes, Sandra...
I will be your friend
For Poetry … for Life

In Poetry
And yes... in Life

Ahhh, i should have known...good scribes tend to bond on this site...A fine tribute to an accomplished Poet and a Class ''A'' Lassie! Have knoiwn Sandra for over 3 years, and i am sure you will agree when i ask- Is she not a most loyal friend & genuine supporter in true? She is a true asset to this site, and your dedicational to her is a job well done as well as a message most accurately conveyed. F j R
