Who would have thought
That when I picked up a pen
My life would soon be filled
With so many newfound friends

When I began my love of writing
Just over two years ago
A new door opened up to me
As the words began to flow

I began to share my feelings
With strangers far and wide
I exposed my inner self
I had nothing left to hide

My emotions flowed so freely
As I held my pen in hand
Like the conductor of an orchestra
I let my heart take command

You've nurtured and inspired me
Right from the very start
You listened so intently
To all the words that I'd impart

We share a special gift
Through our love of poetry
My words are my foundation
And say so much about me

"We aspire to act with
the eyes and heart of compassion.
We know the happiness of others
in our own happiness...
We know that every word,
every look, every action,
and every smile can bring
happiness to others."

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

And Sue, isn't it wonderful how so many groups of
people come together because of our love of poetry?
And, in peace and harmony, at that.  
Hugs to you, Lady

Sometimes, at the end of a day that seems to drag on and on...words are all we have.

Sometimes, after everyone is asleep and our thoughts are finally ours...words are all we have.

Sometimes, when nothing seems to fill the gap...our words, and thoughts, rythm & rhyme can say it all!

Ya know what?
I found this place on accident...by far the best accident that I ever had!

Sue:  A lovely poem which expresses much of what we all feel.  I'm sure this site is important to most of us who post here and we do feel like an extended family.

Sue this is so heartwarming and I'm so glad we are friends.

You've nurtured and inspired me
Right from the very start
You listened so intently
To all the words that I'd impart

We share a special gift
Through our love of poetry
My words are my foundation
And say so much about me


And dear lady, you have inspired and nurtured me with your praise and encouragement. For that I am most grateful to you.

Huggles ...
