What Can i say patricia,
Good friends seem to have this effect on me and believe it or not I have the same effect on some of them.
Will you be my friend too? lol
I love you my friend

Hi again Jim,this is a beautiful poem,something i can relate to very well.Is it not a wonderous thing when someone touches you so deeply as to alter your spirit? Well written thank you for sharing.Grant

I loved it, i am glad you have a friend that makes you feel this way. It went straight to my favorites!!

This is only the second poem of yours I have read and can see how deeply you hold your emotions. A friend is treasured just as you have treasured our Lord.
I look forward to reading many more

You wiggled your toes , you caress my hopes.

This use of personification was very good, and the imagery of the place was good too, however, I felt both drawn to and disconnected from the place. Maybe try to go into detail a little more. I think that that would bring more life to the poem.
