May Love Forever Burn Brightly

May Love Forever Burn Brightly

Friendships are made, friendships are broken

But the friendships here on the site

Are as strong as any that have ever existed

Unencumbered by outside influences

They thrive in an atmosphere of a common language

That of love, compassion, and joy

In the knowledge there are still loving souls out there

Amid the turmoil that exists in the world

Wars have been fought since the beginning of time

They have always been part of the human condition

This desire to be king of the hill

Starts early on with childhood interaction

Bullies trying to prove their superiority by strength

But their strength is usually only physical

There is also a strength of character

Which the so called meek of the earth can possess

That is stronger than physical strength

Strength of character is the strength I describe

Those that possess it often go on to great success

If their fire within is allowed to burn brightly

So let the friendships here on this site

Burn brightly with the love of the written word

The words in rhyme that communicate

A love of our fellow inhabitants

Of this wonderful site and this wonderful world

We call Earth!

Love your sense of humour... we're a matched set!!!!! To clear things up, I'm certainly not filthy rich, at least that's not until I sell my book of limericks! 

You are such an over-the-top sweetie, my own Georgie Girl... Jack xxx

We are both filthy rich in love and that`s what matters sweetie, that`s what keeps me fizzing along and it keeps me comfortably totally barmy, so I`m afraid that fishing hook of yours has got me for life my darling and I aint budging!! so there he heeee!!!

Love you to pieces
