from books of nothing
come tales of something
memories old and new
stories of the years
of laughter and tears
now are shared with you

tales from the heart
now she does start
to show you this day
her words are a gift
and give you a lift
to send you on your way

it's all in her books
come now and look
at the tales she shares
these are her words
truest ever heard
from a heart that cares

Ahhh Sven, this is so sweet, thank you my dear interviewer friend! Leave it to you to remember my "nothing books" from our interview in the magazine. My tattered beginnings keep me smiling each time I pull them out for a read ... always makes me feel like a kid again.  Thank you so very much Sven, this is just lovely ... many, many thanks to you.  

Best wishes and hugs,
/Kit

Kit is such a gift to us all, and you describe her so well. I've really enjoyed everything in your "Passions Gallery"! Thanks for sharing.

What a gift we have in this special friend.
Her Something Poems are brilliant and warm and heartfelt. I don't know about her nothing books, but they must be something special. She cherishes the past, lives the present, and her future will always shine in the eyes of those who have known her. Kit is such an inspiration and an asset to the forum. I'm delighted with this lovely tribute.
Your Gallery, Sven, is art at its best

Your verse for Kit is one of the best ones yet.  She is very special to all of us and you have portrayed her perfectly.  Wonderful vision and talent you have for nailing the poets in here with such accurate description.  I applaud you once again.

Thank you so much again for this wonderful poem Sven. I do believe this is the first time anyone has written a tribute such as this for "me" and I'm so touched that you've placed me in such wonderful company within your Passions Gallery. I'm truly touched by both your caring words and your talent. Thank you so much again, and a big thank you to all the beautiful words and comments within the responses. You are an incredible group of people, and I'm so thankful for your friendships.  

Best wishes,
/Kit
