JOYCE COUNTS
J ust for your information, we ARE related by heart.
O K, maybe I'm foolish, but we're fast friends from the start.
Y ou don't give yourself enough of the credit you richly deserve.
C aring for strangers on the internet sure threw me a curve.
E ven if we never meet, you and I are friends.
C ause I like your style and fortitude. On you I can depend.
O ften people let me down when they do not follow through.
U ntil I got a nice critique from Spanky (Hey! That's YOU!)
N obody else had stuck around to send notes back and forth.
T oo bad for them since I like to write and make friends for all I'm worth.
S uch a gentle spirit in such a battered mold--
my friend our new relationship is worth far more than gold.
Jess, WOW!! what a nice thing for you to do for me. You flatter me so much. I am so proud that you consider me a friend in this short time, It's ironic how you entered my life, past and present without making a splash, you just slid in there as if you had always been there. Thank you so much. WE surely are kin, in some way. Get Jim and come on down, I'll make you some sweet tater biscuits and a mess of greeen beans!! Later, Joyce/Spanky
Jessica,
I really like this. It is uncanny that you can imagine Spanky as she really is.Very nice tribute. Thanks for sharing. Linda
