Who once has had a friend has found
The link 'twixt mortal and divine;
Though now he sleeps in hallowed ground,
He lives in memory's sacred shrine;
And there he freely moves about,
A spirit that has quit the clay,
And in the times of stress and doubt
Sustains his friend throughout the day.

No friend we love can ever die;
The outward form but disappears;
I know that all my friends are nigh
Whenever I am moved to tears.
And when my strength and hope are gone,
The friends, no more, that once I knew,
Return to cheer and urge me on
Just as they always used to do.

They whisper to me in the dark
Kind words of counsel and of cheer;
When hope has flickered to a spark
I feel their gentle spirits near.
And Oh! because of them I strive
With all the strength that I can call
To keep their friendship still alive
And to be worthy of them all.

Death does not end our friendships true;
We all are debtors to the dead;
There, wait on everything we do
The splendid souls who've gone ahead.
To them I hold that we are bound
By double pledges to be fine.
Who once has had a friend has found
The link 'twixt mortal and divine.

we have never lost
we have gained so very much
each a heart treasure

I've not heard of Edgar Albert Guest before,its nice dont get me wrong...its got a good message in it...but  probably cos I'm not really into the rhyming type of poetry that much is probably why I havn't heard of him before..

The Importance of Friendship

I'm not sure where I came across this poem as I'd posted it ages ago on the FoL site, but it resonated with me.  I hadn't heard of Edgar Albert Guest either Vlada

Multi Dimensional Reality

The world as you know it - all that you see, taste, feel and touch, comprises only about 5% of all of the stuff of the universe. The other 95% is what we have considered "nothing" or the "firmament"  or dark matter or the heavens or mystic Other Worlds. This 95% is multi-dimensional and consists of potential realities that may be perceived.

A single thought...a mere whisper, ...... barely upon a breeze that catches a spark... all is tinder before the firestorm... and yet.
ONLY that whisper
ONLY that thought
 the world is forever changed beyond the fears and dreams of cardboard men.
Freedom and change starts within:
It is encouraged by truth and courage of people who love
Built by the respect of true beings standing as one before each other.
Lets us cross every man made borders
without fear stare into eyes and hearts of all our brothers and sisters: within our words without shouting,or force to hold each to our truths; and let us without fear freely share what works...

Breathe In The Divine Pulse Of The Stars By Terra Lea

  Breathe In The Divine Pulse Of The Stars By Terra Lea Dear friends, I have noticed conversations getting deeper with friends and loved ones as we navigate these times. Maybe you have too. Worry, fear, anger— all present. As we gather to ask questions of how to be in these times, it helps to remember the words of the ancients who also navigated seeming impossible…See More
