It’s hard to say goodbye
To a place you know as home
To pack your bags and wonder
How far you’ll have to roam

And scary still to guess
Just what lies up ahead
So now my friends it’s time
To say things I’ve left unsaid

Serving you was my pleasure
I’ll miss you one and all
I was always here for you
At your beck and call

But now I’m growing weary
And must let someone take this task
I know that she will always
Do everything you ask

Treat her well, as you have me
Be kind and gentle in your ways
And she will serve as I did
Through all your Passionate Days


Farewell, my faithful poet friends.  From Ceres.

**Please note that there is a special announcement in the Announcement Forum (how appropriate!) about the move to the new server. Please read it and pass it on to your poetic buddies. We don't want anyone left behind or in the dark! And for a special 'peek' as some of the new features, check out the secret post in the Alley. Those that have seen what the new server, Athena, and the upgraded software will do, will post some of the fun things you can expect to find!

Thank you all....


but you know I worry about those members who aren't reading about the move...what happens if they don't know their password? Ron will be inundated with emails asking for help. So please! Tell everyone on your 'friends' list about the thread in Announcements! Thanks you!

And in the new version of the software, when you reply to your own post, it doesn't bump it up to the top of the heap!!!

OK... except for the yelling at you part, I'll have to ditto serenity... I thought you were talking about YOU and panic set in... Don't DO that unless you're gonna have nitroglycerin pills for us to click on! LOL

A wonderful tribute to one who has served us well... she hasn't just been a friend, she's filled my life with them! *S*
