If a kiss was a raindrop...
I'd send you showers.
If hugs were a second...
I'd send you hours.
If smiles were water...
I'd send you the sea.
If friendship was a person...
I'd send you me.

If you don't send this to at least 10 people...
So that they know that you appreciate them.
This poem shows lots of appreciation...
So send this to all of your friends
and let them know you will always care 'bout them.
Send this back to the person that send this to you * * * ** *

If you love me as a friend you will read the whole thing.

What would you do if for every moment you were truly happy
there would be 10 moments of sadness?
What would you do if your best friend died tomorrow and you never got to tell them how you felt?
So, I just wanted to say,
even if I never talk to you again in my life,
You are special to me and you have made a difference in my life.
I look up to you, respect you, I appreciate you and truly cherish you.

Send this to all your friends, no matter how often you talk, or how close you are, and send it to the person who sent it to you.
Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell new friends you never will.
Remember, everyone needs a friend.
Dont ever leave the one you love for the one you like,
because the one you like will leave you for the one they love.

If you wake up in a red room with no windows and doors,
DON'T panic..Please DON'T...You're just in my heart!!!
Send this to all the friends you want to keep forever...

Today is BestFriend Day!!!
Send this to all of your friends,
and me if I am one.
If you get 7 back you are LOVED !!No Matter The Number Received...YOU ARE SPECIAL.....

Have a Wonderful Week....

Hugs & Kisses

Hey There Ms. Harpist From The Hood.....You Are Talented...Your Sound Is So Sweet...You Are Special To Me....You Touch Me...Have A Good Night....God Bless You...Peace And Blessings......
Brenda

Precious Harpist with Sound!

Hey you! What a wonderful honoring you and Cristwell received at the One Life Institute gathering. I am so thankful you decided to honor all that music within you, letting the heavens have more room on earth. I look forward to our shopping time when the funds meet the desire. All in good time.

Melodia sends her love. Will tell you more about how she's doing soon. Keep her tightly in your prayers.

Love you MADLY,
Your Sistar,
