Thinking of Friendship

[linaewen]

After spending a sweet, sweet times with pippinswolf for lunch yesterday, and wadearturo for breakfast today, I got to thinking about friends, and how much I truly enjoy being here at LJ where I can feel like I've just had lunch or breakfast with each one of you, because we are communicating and chatting and laughing and crying together here in this place. It may not be face to face, but it is still that same special feeling I get when I am with my friends.

(((((((You All))))))

And speaking of friendship, here a little something for Verse Thursday:

FRIENDSHIP

Boromir, brave man, went searching
For answers to riddles galore.
Answers he found in his questing,
Yet also, he found so much more.

Friendship he found, though unbidden;
From sources unlikely it came.
Fellowship true he encountered;
No longer alone, nor the same.

Loneliness for a time vanished,
Though brother he missed by his side,
Other friends made were there with him
The small ones to guard and to guide.

Merry and Pippin were special.
Such little ones, yes, yet so bold!
Something awoke in his heart then;
For safety, their skills he would mold.

Mock battle during their resting,
Successful in more ways than one;
Laughing, they're all brought together,
The swordplay soon turned into fun.

Many dark roads they would travel,
But friendship's strength tested would be;
Frodo he failed, but the small ones
He rescued and made the Orcs flee.

To Merry, Pippin, he gave them
Significance by his great deed:
He gave all he had for their rescue;
Important to him was their need.

Pippin would honor his mem'ry
When standing at Denethor's side.
Boromir, brave man remembered
With love, friendship, honor and pride.

I tried four times to call you both at breakfast for a moments HiYa, to no avail

funny how the smoke of a distant fire can get to my eyes

We were talking a blue streak, sorry!

That verse you pulled out really does apply to us here, doesn't it? I thought exactly the same thing. And BTW, it is most sweet of you to be reading my wee offerings at the Scrapbook. ;-)

I'm glad you got to spend time with our girls in the last two days - they both needed you this week. I wish I could be there for breakfast, lunch, dinner or high tea, but will have to settle for a virtual tea. (((Lin)))

We'll have a breakfast, lunch, dinner AND high tea for real sometime, I'm planning on it -- somehow or other! Virtual is good but real is better. ((((PK))))

((((((((((( Sweetie-Pie )))))))))) You're exhausted. Email me when you can, and I will call you this weekend.

I adore you, and the Boromir goodness. :-)

Thanks for everything today, babe. The company was just what I needed. You made my day!
