It is
such an honor to be recognized as a Twobie in the Garden. It's
hard to believe that two years ago, the Garden was just a dream.
Now, two years later, we are over 200 members strong and the Garden
has touched the hearts of many.
Special
thanks to everyone for the gifts, cards and letters.
Love to
all
Deelight

Let's
have a round of applause,
Let's all give some due praise!
We have a distinct group of members,
Who are special in many ways...



The
2-year honors upon them,
Dearest to some as a friend.
We thank them for all they've done,
And hope that it doesn't end.
For the road as a member is winding,
And the numbers continue to grow,
Joined by a common bond here,
In the Garden of Friendship we know.



Deelight
was first in her efforts,
To begin a world of growth.
And Chrissy and Valatine joined
And have given a solemn oath.
Their loyalty, friendship and caring,
Their talents and strengths
We have known
And now it is time to salute them,
And thank them for how much we've grown!



To
each of you with love,
We want to say Hurray!
You've earned your angel wings,
This is your Special Day!
All of the above globes were created
by a GOF member, Catladie.

Deelight
is our wondrous Founder.
Without her loyalty, dedication,
and undying vision,
the Garden of Friendship would not be.
On these special days of celebrating the
2-year Birthday, we must remember who it is
that held us together through thick
and thin. No matter what the future
brings , it is these two years
of teamwork and spirit, started by Dee,
that exemplify true unity!
It is the friendship of a lifetime,
packed into the last 2-years!
How can we express our gratitude?
By making the Garden her dream!











Life is like a garden
And friendship like a flower,
That blooms and grows in beauty
With the sunshine and the shower.
And lovely are the blossoms
That are tended with great care,
By those who work unselfishly
To make the place more fair.
And, like the garden blossoms,
Friendship's flower grows more sweet
When watched and tended carefully
By those we know and meet.
And, if the seed of friendship
Is planted deep and true
And watched with understanding,
Friendship's flower will bloom for you.
