Thanks for giving me the audience I need
You all have become my precious friends indeed
Thanks for giving me the strenght to go on
It just seemed to me a superbowl that I've won
Thanks for giving me respect and friendship
It's the source that's getting me out of a dip
Thanks for giving me thoughts and laughter
Sometimes I'm still giggling many hours after
Thanks for giving me a place in this home
So many different decorated rooms to roam
Thanks for giving me the time to share
Knowing that most of you really do care
Thanks for giving me hope when I'm down
Slowly make my face smiling instead of frown
Thanks for giving me men like Balladeer
And Ron and Duncan and all manpoets here
Thanks for giving me Marge, Sharon, Vick
And all other women on who's poems I kick
Thanks for giving me some of your time
I'll give you in return my heart in rhyme



A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess...

Titia---I read this poem just wanting to say Thank you...for your presence here.  Your world takes me on vacation even when I'm sitting in a dimly lit den.
And then, I see my name listed with Ron and Balladeers.  I am speechless and most humbled and believe me that's saying something.
Unfortunately, my Thanksgiving has had a bit of a complication thrown into it and your poem has truly helped me to smile.
Since I know you're an animal lover, yourself...please see my post in Announcements.
Thank you, Titia...I needed this...how did you know?

Ah, Titia, seldom do I see a more giving person than you. You add a freshness and delight to this family that is so appreciated by all. I thank God for giving you to us

Titia, this is more than delightful, it's a Dutch treat, for you've given as much, as more!

Titia, instead of counting those sheep, you better take personal inventory LOL, as you are the biggest hearted gal I do believe I have ever met.  You not only share yourself and that great big heart but your wondeful photos.  I feel every time I am around you like I am in fresh air, and am on a holiday!  So, as Doreen Perri has said, today I shall break bread at dinner for "World Thanksgiving Day" and be thankful for you too,

~*~  Carpe' Diem  ~*~

Elizabeth, thank you sweet lady

Duncan dear friend, I just knew   hope your dog will recover soon

Ahh Kay, lovely friend, thank you

And Balladeer, again you make me  
Unfaithful to your SPAM tonight, aren't you  

Midnitesun, matter of fact: I'm leaving for a long weekendtrip to Luxembourg tomorrow (sheepinspecting)not due to Thanksgiving though for we don't celebrate that overhere.

Sunshine, I thought 'Dutch treat' was when everybody's paying his/hers own bill   (couldn't resist that)

Sharon, you're such a sweet lady, thought by now my pics would bore you to death. Well I've many more in my purse.

Sudhir, I'm so glad you've come back, missed you quite a while.

Dear friends, I hope you'll have a wonderful time tonight.

Titia

Such a nice way to ending my Thanksgiving Day, reading this, Titia.
And I believe your sentiments are shared by many here.
Thank you for your time and your words.
