dear Kelly... Friends help us stand tall
and bind our hearts with inspiration as
the pages turn from season to season.
It is beautiful to have friends whom
we can lean on. truly... Pat

[Kelly Scheppers]

...that's what this is all about, Pat...thank you so much!

[Nadia Gerassimenko]

I think writers as well as readers alike can find this wonderful quotation as pure and true. Figurative bookends that serve to protect and hold us together, even when are about to fall like the Tower of Pisa.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I appreciate your view, Nadia...thank you!

[Lydia Shutter]

What a line! Just like bookends, friends hold us up when we need the support. Love it, Kelly!!!! Lydi**

[Kelly Scheppers]

I bet you're getting funny looks from Jackson & Honey...thanks, hon!

[Alfred Kukitz]

We landed about 3 pm. They jumped to when I told them it was Kelly!

I like this a lot Kelly. My take on it is that - we turn to the left;we see friends - we turn to the right;we see friends. What more could one want?

Thank you as always for the RR, Kelly
Happy Easter
:)

Just perfect my friend!!! There is a great story within this line, to be told. And all our life experiences that our friends know, our adventures and our heartbreaks, are lined within the volumes of the books held by our friends. Hope you win!! :)

Hi Kelly. beautiful. beautiful in the sense of poetry and beautiful in sentiment. It is also so very true. Without friends what is there to enjoy in life??? My friends are bookends for me as I am for them, and I shall be telling them so, alf

[Kelly Scheppers]

...reminded, like we all should be. No time greater than the present, right? Thank you, Alf...for your generosity!

[alf]

I shall never forget those words -- the best tribute I can pay, alf

Kelly, So true and so WELL presented. I love how you made the font size bigger on each end of the story. Very well done. take care...dan

[Kelly Scheppers]

That was my way of making a literary bookend, of sorts, with my phrase. Presentation is part of the judging. Thank you, Dan...is it warmer there today?

[dan]

It went up to 51. Tomorrow's Easter egg hunts will take place with kids wearing jackets. Bummer. Have a good one! take care...dan

love it...in six words so much said

reminds me of S&G...."old friends, old friends, sat on the park bench like bookends"

and those friends we keep for life, they keep us grounded.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Your perspective is always welcomed here, Jacob...thank you!

They certainly do help keep us together. I enjoyed this little story :)

[Kelly Scheppers]

It's hard to think of it as being a story...I think it's the gist behind the 6 words. I really appreciate your kindness though, Thomas. Thank you!
