Dear Derrick; Is it any wonder that you are loved here? Jesus is present here, your poetry is wonderful and your replies to other poems have been heartfelt, warm, and sincere. I am so very glad that God has brought you to this Forum. As for your age, us older folks {I'm the mother of 6, and grandmother of 3}, prefer to think of all of us here as ageless poets extraordinaire! Love, Ellie< !signature--> 02 [This message has been edited by ellie LeJeune (edited 05-01-2000).] |

Hello Derrick! So wonderful of you to put thanks in such beautiful verse. I am greatly honored as well as everyone else. I admire your ability to exude such grace at your age. This is a special place for all to share the heart of their own realities and fantasies. With the seeking of spirit and guidance we sort of all come together in his name. That is the way he wants it I believe. I appreciate you so much and your wonderful comments. God bless you and all you do. You are a very spriritual young man. Which makes you wise beyond the boundaries of years! I look forward to your friendship and your poetry! Sincerely, Regina aka Rwood |
