Ten Thousand

Ten thousand pats upon the back
Ten thousand words of cheer
Ten thousand times she lifted up
Our spirits through the year

Ten thousand gestures out of love
Ten thousand pretty smiles
Ten thousand times she made it seem
The effort so worthwhile

Ten thousand words of encouragement
Ten thousand compliments
Ten thousand ways to show she cares
About her poet friends

Ten thousand ‘wows”, ten thousand “great”s
Ten thousand times “well done”
Ten thousand ways that she’s embraced
The hearts that she has won

So here’s to you, my dear Denise
Ten thousand hugs, my friend
Ten thousand "thank you's" from the heart
For all the hearts you mend

I can’t imagine any morning
If I were to arise
Without Denise’s smiling face
And blue of Irish eyes

She’s always here, she’s always there
With lovely warming chimes
She’s shown us all the contents of her heart
Ten thousand times

Thank You, Denise
and Congratulations
Love you, Liz

Elizabeth,

This is only my second day here in Passions and I can't even imagine 10,000 posts.  How thoughtful to write such a nice poem to congratulate her.  I'm sure she'll love it.

Thank you, Elizabeth, you are a very special friend to have written such a beautiful poem for me. I am typing this through tears of joy. I am truly touched by this, to know that I have touched you and so many others with my simple comments. I have printed this out and I will keep it with the other poems of yours that you gave to me when we had lunch that day. I am honored to have you as a friend. Also, I wanted to add that lately I have not been able to read and comment on all the poems, as I used to do, due to the fact that Passions grows busier every day. But I read and comment on as many as possible. Thanks again, Elizabeth! HUGS

Love ya
Denise

Thank you all for your comments. I think I might be the only one, or one of very few who have met Denise personally (since we live only an hour away), and she is as lovely as she can be. You can just imagine from her presence here on the forum. She is very giving and very warm and I am priviledged to call her friend, and Denise, when are you coming over?
Thanks again, everyone
Liz

Thank you, Liz, I'd love to come over soon, that's for sure! Without the car during the week it would have to be a Saturday or Sunday morning. If I get the courage to use the Schuylkill Expressway (I'm leery of it after a few near misses..or should I say near 'hits'?) it should take me about an hour. If I take the back roads (my husband can probably map it out for me) it may take closer to two hours. But, I'll e-mail you to set a date that will be good for you! Can't wait! It's been too long!

Love ya,
Denise

Liz,

I can tell you have that ole proverbial "heart of gold". That was a very sweet and kind gesture to write a poem for Denise. And WOW!!! 10,000 posts is an accomplishment worthy of such a poem.
