Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
Can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through

But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say "never"
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not to long to live as friends

With the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you'll live in
Is the strength that now you show

But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say "never"
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not to long to live as friends

They say the eyes are the windows of the soul. 

Though we've never met face to face, your creativity and spirit shine bright from your pages.  

When I looked into your pages, I looked into your eyes
... and I found a beautiful friend. 
When I read your reminder emails I listened to your voice
... and I found a trusting friend.
When you read my reminders you supported my dreams
... and I found a loyal friend.

I won't forget the laughter and the tears ....
the fun and the frustration ....
the silliness and the seriousness ...
the victories and the defeats ...

I won't forget that we had
a moment  or a day...
a month or a year ...
Of feeling something special  ....
Our mutual love of sharing with others ...

Reaching out through our pages ...
We connected ...
Across so many miles ...
We touched ...
and it was good.


And so my friend, I won't say goodby.
Because a lifetime's not to long
to live as friends.
If you have a friend leaving the fights and your feelings are reflected here, please do feel free to send this along to them with your own personal note.
It's Hard To Say Goodby...
So ...  I won't
Please enjoy this song.
Feel free to sing along.
If you sing it loud and clear ...
I think that I might hear ...
And know that you are near.

This List Is Not A Vote Reminder List.
It's just a list to allow me to touch base with you once in awhile.
If you know me, you know, it was like pulling teeth to get me to even send a reminder, so you know I won't be crowding your mail boxes with spam or junk mail.   I don't want to lose track of you and just  plain do not  want to say "Goodby"   So, with your help - - - I Won't! *G*
