friendships take.....time an investment of emotions sacrifice determination not to let things slide intentional it's all intentional perhaps unconventional in a world where look out for Number 1 is the best tune to hum true friendships don't happen in a void "I don't have the time" not the right rhyme for friendship's poetic rhythm Friendships take...love not the conditional kind but unconditionally blind to the faults and seeing the sincere hidden inside a friend will confide and abide in friendship's sphere dear and near Friendships take...visits drop by to say, "Hi!" and share a piece of pie to laugh and cry and watch the days go by friendships are forever didn't you know? when your soul is on show affection can grow friendships take me friendships take you always and forever new a true friend it's so true is someone so perfectly and exactly and endearingly like you! Dedicated to Richard L on his birthday!

Tim, true friends are so hard to come by these days. That's why we should nurture the friendships that are worth it, even though they may take a lot of our time and effort. :) Thanks for stopping by. Hugs

Yes, Laura. Richard is a spiritual man with a strong faith. That's not very common nowadays. I have always appreciated this about him....his integrity. Thank you for the lovely visit. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things here. We will see how things go. Hugs :)

This last week has been first week of semester. Lots to prepare for. Now...I have more time on my hands now. Send me all your news. Yes, friends are so very important. Richard is a consistant friend. He doesn't let me lose touch when I'm away. You are precious to me as are some others here. Love ya dearly. Hugs

I'd love to know all your news. I've missed you. I did some recordings for a children's program and I had to do a lot of work on that. TV programs take a lot out of you. Then the week after was getting reading for the new semester and there were meetings all the time and my daughter left after that.
