I bow my head in silent prayer I give thanks for all you’ve done Though the list is long this year Your name resides as number one You gave wings to my grounded soul Freed my heart from its restraint You nurtured my desire to give And suffered me without complaint You were there when my need was great And when I didn’t know I needed you You gave me something no other could And asked not what I would do You inspired me to be better To be kinder, gentler, more forgiving By your standard, I’ve seen the way To exemplary poetic living. You may wonder who touched me so But never realize it was you my friend I’ll not tell this secret to anyone Just thank you, here at the end. |

Devine, Lovely expression. And seems the tribute of thanks is well justified. ------------------ Yesterday is history, tomorrow just a mystery. And if today is good to me how could I ask for more? |

I am still struggling to define all the things I am thankful for. You seem to have a wondrous talent for revelation within your verse Lady deVine. I bow to your skill with words. ------------------ Now and forever, my heart hears ~one voice~.

 Thank you all for your lovely comments. If you think the poem is about you or for you, you're right. If you think the poem couldn't possibly be for you, you're wrong, it could. Maybe, just maybe.... |

I knew before I read your response to the comments that you were indeed speaking to the masses... Just goes to show everyone, that PdV is a class act. |
