These poems are very special to me and many of the members of the forum.
They are truly special. God Bless you all for making my heart sing.
This web page is dedicated to Barbara who passed away on April 21, 2007. You will always be remembered and loved by so many people that you have never met in person. I know God called you to his house, but your family both in real life and online will miss you so very much. We love you always. You are in God's hands now and we know you are well taken care of.
God Bless you Barb - You are one great lady!

I never knew (for Barb)(New - June 9, 2008)
A perfect name for this site.
A place where friends become family;
And share the poems they write.
It isn't long, after you join;
You'll get the feeling you belong.
If you had any fears of being new;
It doesn't take long, and they're gone.
Soon you have new brothers and sisters;
And perhaps, a new best friend.
It doesn't matter who it is;
But you'll keep coming back again.
They take the time to read your poems;
And their replies are always the best.
No other site compares to this;
It stands far above the rest.
Thanks to Cindy, for making it possible;
To express our feelings for all to see.
And letting us gather together here;
To form "The Friendship And Love" family

That I have sadly shed and cried
I have found again that lost smile
That was missing for a brief while
Seeing the suns warms rays glow
Through my open hearts window
My broken heart is finally mending
The old heartache is finally ending
I am no longer crying in the night
And my tomorrow is looking bright
I thought I had lost my dearest friend
When I thought it had came to an end
Forever I thought they closed the door
And I would not see my friends anymore
I thought friendship and love was lost
But our Cindy has willingly paid the cost
She knew without our wonderful family
That the others were lost, just like me
For it is not just a place for us, it is real
And what we say to others is what we feel
Thank you Cindy from deep in my heart
For giving love and friendship another start
And we will always be there for you dear
Because your have put your heart in here

Have really touched my heart
So many people mean so much
I just don’t know where to start
For I want to thank so many here
That has said sweet things to me
But how could I just pick a few
From this great big sweet family
Summer has become like a sister
Bob a big brother I’ve never had
To Frans whom I wish was not sad
Dragon with her magical pen
Betty boop brings us comedy
Alan so deep and profound
And Cindy watching quietly
rainbow with her loving ways
and all the dear sweet kids
to paul for ever challenging
and making us flip our lids
Chris W, Kandi, and Maggie too
Also Amanda and Seth reply
Tiny tot, Bella, Tawny, Baby J
For I cant pass Symphony by
So many in our dear family
That if your name I missed
Just put it in the reply dear
And I will add it to the list
God bless you one and all
You all mean so much to me
For where else could I go too
To acquire such a sweet family

Over the lonesome prairie of a heart
The winds sings of it's misery
As a thirst goes unquenched
The heart screams in silence
But it's shared by the soul
Pain rolls on unimpeded
Thirst is now desparation
A light glows on the horizon
Heart and soul dismiss as mirage
The wind carries echo's of compassion
Heart and soul sip from the well of hope
The tumbleweed slows in the face of life
Knowing it's reign must come to an end
This place was a step towards heaven
Where the tumbleweed would meet it's fate
This place had a line magically drawn
That the tumbleweed hesitated to cross
Lights of friendship, caring, and love
Brought heart and soul over that line
Now the heart's prairie is covered with color
Free from Satan, the tumbleweed, at last
Here in Cindy's lush Garden of Eden
Heart and soul found renewed life

Cindy, I put this here because coming to your site, and getting to meet all the great people coming and going, has definitely been a spiritual blessing to me. Thank you, and may this site offer the same to many more over the HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Sitting by my side.
Always dreamed of an angel!
Whos strength will still abide.
I always see the angel.
If not through my eyes...
I always see the angel.
Who can break through the lies.
I always hear the angel.
Whispering in my dreams.
I always hear the angel.
Calling my name in the wind.
Cindy is my angel.
I think all of us agree.
If it wasn't for Angel Cindy...
We would all be blind, and could not see.
Angel Cindy...

I sure have found here.
Words full of strength
Love, friendship and courage.
Many of you here
Have touched my heart of gold.
So today I am sending
An angel to watch over
Every single one of you.
To wrap their wings around you
And give each one of you a big hug.
Each one of you wear your heart on your sleeve
As much as I do myself.
Although you may not walk in someone's shoe
You know they all have been there somehow.
So take a moment,
Feel that hug
Cause I am giving each of you one now.
Thank you all for such love and understanding
And Cindy for such a wonderful site!!!

And I happened on one quite by chance
The other site I called home is no more
So I thought I'd give this one a glance
I felt really totally out of place at first
The poets were much more advanced than I
I was hesitant at first to make a post
Until one of the forums caught my eye
You see, I have a keen interest in God
He's the only true friend I've ever had
I read some posts and checked the responses
The love flowing out made the other site look sad
This spiritual forum was truly guided by God
I could see him in many lifes and hearts
I saw them sharing and all of them caring
Of this family I wanted to become a part
So choosing oh so very carefully
I picked a poem with which to begin
I posted one of my favorite writings
Then I waited for comments to come in
I feel I made some new friends that day
And I praise God I found this delight
Cindy, I think he wants you to know
He too very much enjoys your site

Carrying her words, like a graceful dove.

Shedding many thoughts of colour, and hue.

Reminding that love raises smiles, also frowns.
Alan, a man of true depth, and deep mystery,
No one can envisage, his thoughtful creativity.
LadyTess has mystery, and magical depth,
Words of such thought, take away your breath.
Betty truly writes, with tears many have shed,
Deep beautiful thoughts, flow out of her head.
Moya with a growing angel. deep down at heart.

Making heartfelt points to all, ever truly complete.

And the endless new visitors, yes her, you, and him?
Enjoy your stay here, and pour out your very being,
Share in the love, that endless visitors are seeing.
Cindy the owner, a quiet, sure symbol, of God,
Her inspiration here, is the very path, that you've trod.
Maybe also a gatekeeper, to God's heaven, up above.
Blessing us all with this forum. "Friendship & Love".

I was close to taking my life to an end.
I had pushed away everyone that I loved,
All of my family and my precious friends.
When I found your site that day Cindy,
It was my life's greatest gift of all.
I know that God heard all my prayers,
And sent each of you to answer my call.
I found there was so many sweet Angels,
That daily flowed through the FAL site.
And after I had befriended many of them,
I knew everything would turn out alright.
Thank You Cindy for your wonderful site,
And for all the help and support I got.
I wanted to let everyone of you know that,
Within my mind you will never be forgot.
To Cindy, Barb, Bob, DL, Frans, RQ, Betty, Danielle,
Moya, Tawny, Alan, Maggie, Kandi,
And so many others,
Please accept this warm Thank You from me.
And hopefully one day in the near furture,
God will lead me back to my online family.
Good-bye is sincerely hard for me to say,
Sadly at this moment in time I must do.
I take with me a part of everyone here,
And remember I'll never ever forget you.
Hugs and Love Summer.
A Thank You For Everyone At FAL.

I don't know what I was thinking,
when I first came upon this site.
I did not know if what I felt,
was really something right.
I was in a kinda of sad mood,
nothing seemed to go good.
Every thing never made it out,
it didn't seem like it could.
But then I met a young fellow,
Bob was the name.
If you followed all his words,
you find kindness is his game.
Then there was that Moya,
sweet and funny and great.
She would be the first to comment,
she was never late.
I came across Rainbow Queen,
whose writing could be shouted!
Bold, and brave, lovely and true...
Whose heart could not be doubted.
Then Betty who made me smile.
Always wrote of beautiful things,
Whose heart is pure,
and her freedom rings.
Oh, could I forget Barb,
I really don't think I ever will.
Whose wrote so sad,
but better ever still.
Then there was Alan,
who moderated very fair.
He wrote of beauitful love,
he would always care.
And Dragon Lady,
who was wild and free.
I must admit, I have to say...
She writes better than me!
I couldn't leave out Kandi,
I never could have skipped her, oh no...
She writes as pretty as a new born kitten!
Sweet, and always on the go!
Then there is wonderful Danielle...
Whos words make my heart glow.
The soft words she writes...
Are worth more than I know!
But Cindy made my dreams come true,
prayers were answered daily, I am so glad.
Thanks to Cindy's dream...
My life, may be tough, but certainly not bad!

Can live without knowing a site like this
Where people are always ready to lend an ear or hand
Or send you a loving cyber hug or kiss.
I've made so many friends here even when im feeling down
Its easy to trust and thats something i rarely do
But you really feel the sincerity of everyone living here
And think that maybe, possibly, if you went away, they would miss you
Upon clicking "Poetry forum", insecurities fly away
This is a place when you can truly be you
Not have to worry about people picking on your for being yourself
Or having to live in disguise in case you get left on the shelf
Cindy is a miracle with enough love in her heart
To open up a site where strangers can feel warm
Where friends are found and loved and cherished
Where "outsiders" feel they can come to no harm
And each of you help in your own little ways
Be it giving advice, or making sure nobody's out on their own
To turn this site into something original
A place of html that people can call home
© 2003 Symphony
For there are too many special people for which I care
Cindy who created this site and brought us all together
Bob who melts hearts left and right with his poetry forever
Frans whose loving heart is so clear to all but the one he loves
Summer who has a heart like a flock of snow white doves
Barb whose poems always seems to have good cheer anytime
Kandi who is new here but has the sweetest rhymes
Tawny whose emotional poems are deeper than the seas
Danielle who touches hearts and minds with everything she writes
Moya whose poems are so real and who is so warm and bright
Boop who writes amazing verses that bring tears to your eyes
Rainbow Queen whose poems can bring amazing sighs
Messenger whose poetry can really make you think
Alan’s poems so bitter sweet that the tears will make you blink
There are a great many more who I know I could include
This is just the beginning so please don’t think me rude
I love to come here to this site and get lost within all the verses
Written by special people, friends and angels they cure the curses
Of the day, the month and of this life that we seem to accumulate
Thanks to all you Special People here… you really all are great!

Found rainbowqueen sitting there
Asked if I could join her for awhile
She said sure there is room to spare
Then we heard a voice saying hello
It was baby just dropping by
Had just written another love poem
And was on the clouds in the sky
As we were all talking and relaxing
I felt someone playing with my mind
And I told the girls I had a feeling
Christopher robin was not far behind
There he came floating up in the air
And with little Maggie by his side
Oh she was bubbling over with joy
And talking about being a new bride
We were having a great time together
And then Cindy came up for a rest
Had been working so hard on the club
But knew she was also very blessed
Wow what great celebration was had
Meeting everyone up there in the sky
One by one more kept on coming
There’s Dragon Lady just flying by
She's carrying Betty Boop and Kandi
Please come on over and join us girls
Hey there’s Seth another guy is dandy
Don’t forget me cried out Remember
Jumping out from a passing cloud
Symphony and Black_rose dropped in
And then Amature joined the crowd
Headed our way Arianna bounded
With Peppermint and Messenger
Frans, Alan, Paul, and Baby J too
and little Tawny cant forget her
Then we all heard beautiful singing
Saw the children from the corner below
They were all headed up our way
To the great party on the rainbow
We had a great time just visiting
It turned out to be a wonderful day
We will all have to do this again
Even if dreaming is the only way

It was a path to endless hearts world wide
That Angel stood guard at this old gate
And blessed many hearts that maybe cried
Some who entered were filled with Love
Many were a pure as a White peace Dove
Some perhaps felt down and truly lost
But she took them all in regardless of cost
In each she left a sure symbol of love
Like a ray from Heaven from up above
And all were able to now communicate
After entering within this old sweet gate
The light she shone was truly bright
And shone on in hearts with tender might
Spreading much joy and thoughtful times
In the hearts that now wrote endless lines
It was a beautiful heart inspired by God
And led endless folk to the path they trod
Life's path may blow cold often Windy
But Hearts are warmed when meeting Cindy
And once you've walked through her gate
Your Heart will talk to others its fate
And the Love and Friendship found within
Will bless your heart down deep within
For as she reaches out for your hand
Your Heart she'll touch you understand
So this is the Gate Friendship and Love
And blessed by God and Angels up above
So share the warmth that others here relay
And your Heart will be blessed many a day
This forum is the gateway into many hearts
Blessed with the love that the keeper imparts
Do I really need to say who we "all" dedicate this one too.
Is your heart talking to others in the forum through meeting Cindy? Mine is.

Jesus has given you!
I know that if you ask anyone,
They would say it was true.
Because God chooses special people,
To serve him in special ways.
I have never seen a more special person,
than you all of my days.
Cindy, you have changed my life,
as well as others I know.
For you are an angel sent from God,
to serve in His Earth below.
Heaven awaits your coming my dear,
and we will be happy to sing.
Because you and your site,
have such joy to bring.
If you closed this site down,
The Lord would surely cry.
I would not know what to do,
and slowly I would die.
Because kind words and wishes,
are the key to life and happiness.
So thank you for my life and truth,
may God always bless.
Thank you Cindy.

For those that are new to the garden
I want to gladly welcome you in
To this little place of sweet serenity
Where you will often visit again
Because just like any other garden
You carefully plant and also tend
Sometimes you find a shy flower
So over shadowed it can only bend
We bring out that sad little flower
And plant it in a very special place
Slowly with love and care it stands
And would be honored in any vase
For those young little new shoots
Are nourished by the mother rose
Older Flowers helping little buds
That is how Cindy’s garden grows
For all Cindy’s flowers are special
And that she is so proud to display
Because all the flowers are different
They make a most wonderful bouquet
© 2005 by Barb - AKA Isitem
that this beauitful sight surely brings.
With it so many wonderful people I know,
That this garden Cindy grew is easy to sow.
First there are people I have known for so long,
They took me to this place and helped me belong.
The one who helped me look this way,
is none other than Symphony, whos love in my heart shall stay.
Then there is Bob, he always made me feel loved,
laughing at the jokes that I always whould shove.
Then there was the most inspiring person Lin,
who I had to admire since my poetry would begin.
Oh, I can't forget Barb, oh no I cannot!
She was so special, her writing getting to my heart, man she fought.
Then there is Kaity, who I must say I love to death,
she always commented on my poems, she was the best!
Now one of the most poetic people I have had a chance to meet,
was the great guy Greg P. J., boy was he sweet.
Oh, how about Danielle, who I have known for a while,
she was so good with rhyming, she never failed to make me smile!
Then there is my cousin, we haved shared good times my friend!
Whom other than the humorous poet, Born Again!
How about that good ole' Dragon Lady!?
Man was she good... She made my heart smile, when it was dark and shady.
Finally there is Cindy, and I really have to say...
that the day I was introduced to this site, It was a special day.
Because without this wonderful site,
I could never say my opinion, I would always feel trapped, but it made it right.
Which is why I thank you all...
The big, and yes the small!
I have forgotten a few from this poem, you are all kind,
For that I am so sorry, but you are always on my mind.
Love From Your Friend, Emmie

And Cindy is her name
Since I found her site
Life hasn't been the same
She's made a warm home
Welcomed many from distant lands
No matter what you write about
There's someone who understands
Staying in the background most of the time
She keeps peace within her family as it grows
And if you read any of her own poetry
You'll see another way she touches souls
Cindy's site couldn't be more aptly named
As within her, God also dwells on her site
You'll find his love and friendship bountiful
Through Cindy, whose's halo is shinning bright
Yes, she's made a safe place for our inner selves
A place we can release all that's deep within
While reaching out for friendship and love
I find myself coming home again and again
Ears to listen shoulders to cry on
And much needed hugs are found here too
It's a wonderful feeling to come home
And to see family, each and every one of you

In the merry go rounds of life
I have caught the golden rings
For I have been so blessed
In a few and many things
My loving friends and family
And angels with no wings
Sharing with me in my life
The bad arrows and slings
In those good times too
They were also there
Happy and rejoicing
The good news to share
When you come to Cindy's garden
To dream or just bend a knee
Think of those beautiful things
That we can get here for free
Thank you all for being here for me.
love you all....see ya barb

I stumbled one day, upon Cindy's site.
And joined their ranks, to write and compose,
Poetry and song, stories and prose.
Friendships were formed
Through an interest shared,
And it was comforting to know
There were others who cared.
By and by the years rolled past,
And my loyalty to the site didn't last.
As life grew hard, my commitment waned,
And I gave myself up to the depths of deep pain.
'Twas over a year before I again logged on,
And saw to my disbelief that our Barb was gone.
Taken to Heaven, through no fault of her own,
I still can't believe that our Barb is gone home.
May the angels bless her friendly soul
And keep her in God's mercies;
Keep her whole.
Still her death, I cannot comprehend
But I'll ne'er forget this online friend.
