They Have Always Stood By Your Side

For Sister Ruth for being there during my greatest times of need, and the times in between. I could never express how much you mean to me…

There are people That come into our life And we do not even remember The Moment we first met, Because it seems They have always been there To share in our joys and sorrows. It seems that they have always been That shoulder to cry on That ear to listen. They are the people That have always Stood by your side During your trials And rejoiced with you In your triumphs.

A Treasured Gift

Tucked away, Carefully in the corners of my heart, Is the treasured Gifts, The one’s I know, Can only be sent from God above, The comfort of a friend, When I am feeling blue, ( Melissa, Karen, Karla, Sarah,) So many more, If I named them all I would never, Be through, The family, ( Nonna, Mom, Sean ) This is especially for you, The dreams I have watched come true , And the one’s that have died too… In the corners of my heart, Are all those gifts I treasure dear, No amount of silver or gold, Could by gifts so pure… Copyright Michelle R Kidwell Nov.6.2003

We Made Memories

For Mimmi for the memories, and D and C as well, you all made me feel like family… We made memories On Summer days Captured in photographs And journal pages Letters of thanks written And that treasured picture In front of your old blue car. It was the little ways We captured those memories And made them treasures. We made memories That summer. Copyright Michelle R Kidwell Oct.2.06

Friendship Such A Gift

Friendship such a gift

Words spoken

Nothing said.

A steading hand

When you feel as if

You are falling.

Friendship such a gift

Words spoken

Nothing said

A kind word

When you feel that

You are down and low

They know how to lift you up

With the kindness shared.

When All is Said and Done

When all is said and done

And the words come

And the memories are captured

With film and ink.

Memories to share

With generations yet to come.

When all is said and done

I cherish the little things.

It Takes A Strong One

For my bestest friend, who must have the strength of ten men to survive through all she has been through…I love you Bestest friend, Sister of my heart, you are a blessing, and an inspiration… It takes a strong one To go through the pain And suffering You’ve been through And still be able To smile through the pain. It takes a strong one To survive through The things you have survived through And still you carry on Through pain that would take Anyone else down. It takes a strong one To live through What you have lived through. Copyright Michelle R Kidwell Sept.28.06

When A Friends In Need

For Karen Vidra and Karla Dorman

When a friends in need

The pain is real

And you find yourself

Feeling that you

Were the one

Hurting as well.

When a friends in need

It’s time to reach out

In prayer

Because Where

Two or more

Are gathered

In the midst of them

He will be.

So I ask for you

To stand and agree

For blessings to flow forth

For Karen and Karla.

Friendships Built

For Sarah Tagert

Friendship built

Instant message conversations

Well into the night,

Letter shared

Emails

That welcomed but rare

Phone call.

Friendship built

The ties stretched

So far they

Could have broke

But all and all

Our friendship is strong.
