it's the unconditional love that always takes me back it's the words of encouragement that you never seemed to lack from that first day your soul graced my trying world of need you brought such a loving peace I never wanted you to leave to you my priceless friend of hope your beauty still shines true I think of your laughter everyday and each tear that bound us true I wonder just what could have been it's funny how lives push on the days they pass so quickly now and my heart, it does cry out if only one thing I hold so dear and will never, ever let go it's the hope deep within in my heart that one day your love, once again will console.... o why.... o why did you go.... _________________________________________ Contest ~ "Ode To A Friend"

Wow, having "hope" as a friend is truly a blessing, Rick. When we lose it, we usually find it again. "Unconditional love" is hard to find, but sometimes we do experience this. Beautifully written entry for the contest and I'm sending winning wishes your way. Love, Carolyn
