So close, so near,
A feeling dear
Like a cover,
A mother,
Caressed like
No other.
^^ Within these words you have captured the essence of what I am.

Michael,

Thank you so much for this tribute:)
I love you, my friend. You are so dear to me.
Like I said to you the other day, you are so infinately precious to me and I feel like giant holding a fragile butterfly within my hands thinking of you.
With every poem you write you show a little of the magical inner richness you posses.
I thank our Lord for sending you on my path, so long ago.
May our friendship forever last:)

Kisses and hugs,

5/5 Ingrid

Michael, this is a wonderful poem. I love it a lot. Such beautiful words. I am so glad for you. You know how valuable friends are.

Beautifully written. :)

Very well written. As I read some verses, I had a sense of soaring and read faster and faster, then a sense of peace and read slower. I can say I have never had a poem affect me quite like that ( a good way).

Ummm, WOW this is a truly wonderful poem and it was sweet. The wording was perfect. The flow was nice and gently all the way through the poem. I really liked the format that you used, the length was just right. I gave this poem a 5/5 because this poem was amazing.

This was one of the sweetest poems I have read in such a long time. what a wonderful job you did with this and it's written with the sweetest of emotions. I wish it was possible to give you more then 5/5

This poem was so lovingly beautiful and full of the love that you described wonderfully. The passion with which you write always stuns me to where I must read the poem again just to realize how admiring your writings are. Beautiful. 5/5

AH ! i love that girl!

5/5 i voted for you : )
