*OT* {{{Good Morning Everyone,}}} Because I have missed a few days, and have been feeling a little self pity (Gawd, I hate it when that happens), I feel compelled to write this "Thank You" to everyone. Please look at this as how it is intended and maybe not how it reads. Some days I wonder if what I do, makes a difference at all. I get caught up in the every day turmoil of life at times and think, maybe I'll just give up as it really does not matter. Then I have a day like yesterday, out of the blue I get an E-Mail from a new friend (Thank you Simon) that I didn't even know was out there. I don't know how this is going to sound (probably a little smug), but I cannot help and think about my favorite movie of all time "It's a Wonderful Life". And (when I'm not feeling sorry for myself) I do feel like one of the richest/Luckiest men in the world, thanks to all of you!!! Todays Poem comes from my new friend Simon!! How Many Friends Have You? The old man turned to me and asked "How many friends have you?" Why 10 or 20 friends have I, And named off just a few ~ He rose quite slow with effort And sadly shook his head "A lucky child you are To have so many friends," he said, But think of what you're saying There is so much you do not know A friend is just not someone To whom you say "Hello" A friends a tender shoulder On which to softly cry A well to pour your troubles down And raise your spirits high A friend is a hand to help you up From darkness and despair... When all your other "so called" friends Have helped to put you there A true friend is an ally Who can't be moved or bought A voice to keep your name alive When others have forgot But most of all a friend is heart A strong and sturdy wall For from the hearts of friends There comes the greatest love of all! So think of what I've spoken For every word is true And answer once again my child How many friends have you? And then he stood and faced me Awaiting my reply Softly I answered "If lucky...... one have "I" "You!!!!" Author Not listed: wb >
