Debi

I have a friend named Debi who I met through an online group

called Ladies of the Heart. We met about 2 year ago when I was so desperately searching for my Tina. I have not seen Debi's face or hugged her loving neck, but I pray that one day we will have the opportunity to meet face to face. Debi reached out to me and has touched my heart so deeply. You see, Debi is a poet and she writes to me every single day in rhyme. Her words just seem to flow like a butterfly in the sky. A gift that only the Lord can touch someone with. Many of you have seen some of Debi's work on my websites.

But there is so much more that you have not seen.

I have decided to create this page so that I can share with you some of her most beautiful work. Wish I could put all of her pieces on here,

but it would take about 100 pages. So I have chosen some

of my favorites for you.

Debi is such an inspirational blessing sent to me from our precious Jesus and a dear friend I will cherish forever and always.

Thank you Debi for sharing your love and your gift with me.

This is one of the first pieces I received from Debi in July 2001.

Alone and so lost

I saw her there

I knew she had a heart

that did care.

I read her sweet story

and it broke my heart

God said step forward

you do your part.

So I befriended this girl

told her it was ok

I am her new friend

in every way.

Stood by her side

not sure what to say

she let me know

just being there made her day.

So rest my friend , Linda

you think I'm clever

I'm just your friend

always and forever.

Hugs

Who Am I?

I am the person that you walk by

never acknowledge, never say hi.

I am the person who walks with a limp

the one they all tease and call a gimp.

Who am I?

I am the person who will succeed

when you cut me, same color I bleed.

I am the person that you call black

the one that is Chinese

and who never looks back.

I am the child, the adult and the wife

I am the person who doesn't give strife.

Who am I ?

I am the one who prays day to day

I am the person who knows the way ...

... to treat one another or lend a hand

I am who I am,

proud to be Amer-ican!

FOR YOUR THANKSGIVING

Nov 2001

WE GATHER TOGETHER

We gather together to give our thanks

the background noise is the war and the tanks.

Somehow life has changed and family 's more dear

as this season we all gather near.

So all that I ask is that you say a small prayer

for all of the families in New York , if you care.

And say one for the families who fought with the best

and another small prayer for friends who are best.

But remember that life last only so long

and make every day count sing a short song.

Smile at the children hug those near by

and remember to love one another

it's not hard if you try.

Tina is still missing

haven't you seen

take a good look

use your eyes, so keen

Someone saw something

please can't you say

we just want some peace

in our own way

I for one ,

pray everyday

and will look

this I say

Watch every person

keep your eyes open wide

there is an answer

one that can't hide

My Christmas Wish for You...

Dec 2001

Is that answers will be found

no matter where you look

and after all that's said and done

you can write a book.

My Christmas wish for you

is to have a happy heart

for God will watch over you

I asked him to do his part.

My Christmas wish for you

is to be blessed from above

and know that you are my friend

'tis you I really love.

Saying Goodbye to 2001

I never wanted to say goodbye

but this year certainly has made me cry.

It made me think about what was first

and for acceptance I did thirst.

I forgot, the way of the Lord

and so selfish was I, things I did hoard.

And then I saw horror and devastation so cruel

terrorism was used as an awful tool.

So as I look over my quaking shoulder,

wondering if I'll be hit by the next boulder.

I say goodbye to 2001

for me, it really was no fun.

I turn slowly forward refuse to look back

God as my leader I pick up the slack

My shoulders seem weightless

as God lifted my ton

I won't look back

'but say goodbye to 200 and 1.

I love to write it's what I do

and you make me feel special too.

A gift from God that is what I say

I just type the words each day

I feel as though from me it flows

as my love for God just grows

Not overly religious just I do believe

use the gifts from God we receive

So thank you Linda you are a friend

and will be from end to end.

Love from

Debi

You came into my life

I can't remember how

but it doesn't matter, not now.

Friends we have become

and friends we shall always be

cause into your life

a special place you've made for me.

No face have I ever seen

but a warmth I sure have felt

you made my woes and worries

just seem to go away and melt.

And so while someday we WILL meet

our friendship , I think

is so fantastic and neat.

And when we finally come together

and meet each other face to face

it will seem so perfect

as our trust falls into place.

A friend is more than body

deeper than a soul

a friendship is what makes one another

feel good and whole.

Jesus is waiting

just for me

to show me the world

as only he can see.

The oceans so blue

the sky so bright

and walking with him

I am into the light.

No longer afraid

this time I select

for the Lord to hold me

and to protect.

So no argument

no, no debating

I am ok

for Jesus is waiting.
