Tony~

It is strange because when I started out to write this poem, it was intended to be something I would give to a friend of mine, as something of "here I wrote this for you"...but when I was done writing it, however, I realized that I had wrote far more than I ever realized. I don't know if I'll ever find the time or the place for him to read it, but I needed to put it into words. What I think, what I feel, what is and what will be--it's everything that I know, it's everything that he knows, but the circumstances? To put it simply, are quite complicated. Anyway, Tony, I am so very honored that you would think so highly of this piece, and that you can relate to it so very much. *smile* Your words have touched me in a way that I cannot quite put into words. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. :)

Girl, I am so very honored by your elegant words. And the award? You have left me feeling quite speechless, and very warm and fuzzy. I am so very touched--and blushing very red. *smile* Thank you so very kindly; you have made my evening. :) (((HUGS)))

My dear Lady, I am honored beyond all words. I could say a thousand things, but I cannot find the words to explain how very blown away I am. The award itself is high praise indeed...but the "Lady Bard"? I am just beyond astounded. The three of you have touched my heart and soul in such amazing ways. Lisa, I cannot find the words to say 'thank you' in a way that could mean enough...but, my friend, thank you....((((HUGS))))

Love and honored friendship, Ali
