To all you here who do reply
I say without a doubt or lie
There’s something that I can’t deny
I love each moment spent

Thank you for your time and thought
The friendship of the poet sort
For inspiration often caught
The wisdom you have lent

For here I have my own sweet world
Comfortable and warmly curled
With the mainsail well unfurled
Where heart and soul can vent

So thank you one and all my friends
Lets journey to our poet ends
Enjoy each word each poet sends
And where each truth is sent
Take care and be well my friends.

Rick

Very nice rick.  I liked the pattern and the flow.  However, the ending sounds like you're going away.

Peace. Love. Forgiveness.
  Blessings and Guidance

Hi Gifted, not going anywhere my friend, did not mean it to sound that way, but I do understand why you thought that, have a great day and take care.

You were among the first in PiP to make me feel really welcome here.  You were the first who called me "friend" - I'll never forget those things -- and I think of you as "friend".  Your writing is beautiful and your friendship even more beautiful.
