For YumnaKay - Thank you

There are those who have the blood of altruism rushing through them...

A pat on the back

just as your energy is flagging

in a race which you are both running

Or a whisper in your ear, which makes you

lift your face to the wind 

When a task ahead is dreaded

A smile from across the room

which lifts weights from you

When your head is lowering

A hand touching your arm

when you felt as if you might float

in the void on a zephyr of sadness

Or a joke without malice

which says much more than the 

sum of it's words

Sometimes the smallest gesture

Can mean the world...

A very nice, well-worded tribute. It leaves a soft and sweet feeling in the reader. "on a zephyr of sadness", that's an epic line.

I'm glad you find such goods words for her. This is def a good support, encouragement and strength provider.

You two are somehow cute in your ways of friendship. :)

[Tony Jordan]

Thank you Βανέ.
I'm beginning to like the attention I get from other writers whenever I mention Yumna's name in a write - lol - I guess you could say I'm basking in her reflected light.
:))
Thank you for commenting on this one.

[V]

That's expressed very lovely. You're welcome.

[Gee]

Oh I see, where's "For Gee " and I don't mean the mobile network thingy.
Morning captain, hope all is well.

[Tony Jordan]

If I started to pen a For Gee I'd probably ruin this laptop with tears big lad.

I'm good mate. All the better for seeing you after the shock of seeing your wee shop shut last night.
I hope you're okay
(hugs)

[Gee]

All is fine and dandy thanks

[Diamond]

Tony, I love this gesture of yours to your friend. Ohh my..this really is shooting up my emotions. Love to both of you...Bless!!

PS: I also love the sweet exchange of words between you, though I could hardly make anything out of it.

[Giulia King]

Aww, this is so sweet! A lovely write, TJ! It seems you and Yumna have a strong connection :)

[Tony Jordan]

I suppose we do Gullia, thank you. I know she feels a strong connection with you and has a deep respect for you too. She has a big heart.
:))

[Giulia King]

I have deep respect for her too :) She's an amazing girl. She'll be so happy when she wakes up and reads this lol.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Hahaha yeah Gullia you made the start of my day! Thank you! 💜

[Dr. YumnaKay]

And TJ, so big a heart, I think it'll explode one day lol 😂😂😂

[Lydia Shutter]

Yes, this is so true. No one knows how much a smile or an "atta boy" means to another person. Why not always be complimentary and kind? Yumna Kay must be a wonderful lady. More people should be like her. Lydi**

[Tony Jordan]

So true Lydia.
She is a remarkable woman.
Thank you so much for reviewing this one my friend.
You are deeply appreciated by all your friends here at the Cafe.
God Bless ya!

The best journeys are the ones we don't have to walk alone. I'm always relieved to find also, that when I'm faced with a task, even if it's one as simple as getting out of bed on a rough day, I just know that I've got people around me who have my back and want to help support me when I need it. And of course, I love being supportive to my friends as well. Great tribute T

[Tony Jordan]

Theyre worth more than any material wealth and your humble gratitude for having them leaps off the screen Dani and is a pleasure to behold.
Thank you for your thoughts and friendship D.

[Jimmy Yetts]

There are no truly "small" kindnesses.
Thank you, Tony, for so eloquently reminding us!

[Tony Jordan]

It saddens me very much to see your profile closed Jimmy. I hope you're well and will return soon...
