It was only just two months ago
That I put my pen to write
Some ideas suddenly came to me
Just like a flash of light

With a little hesitation
I decided to submit my poems
Through a place where I'd feel welcome
Where I would find my second home

The poems I read here moved me
Soon, so many letters I'd receive
I realised my words were helping others
I felt like I was doing a good deed

The more poems I'd submit
The more letters would come my way
It was about this time that I met you
Your kind words just made my day

A lovely lady named Kate
How her kind words gave me a lift
Her friendship I was soon to find
Would be such a precious gift

You'll never really know
How much you've helped me along the way
So much that you have done for me
There's so much that I should say

But words cannot do justice
Even though this poem I write
I just wanted you to know
You've been like a guiding light

We've shared a lot of sorrow
So much warmth from you I did feel
You were always there with a helping hand
No matter how sad you did feel

How very blessed am I to know
That I have you as a friend
And although you carry so much sorrow
I hope your heart so soon will mend

TO MY FRIEND KATE FOR HER FRIENDSHIP AND ENCOURAGEMENT......WORDS ARE NOT ENOUGH
