Picture by Josephine Wall * * * * Dedicated to Dave from Connecticut who wrote a poem for me after reading many of my poems.I was so very humbled by what he wrote so I thought I'd reciprocate by expressing my thanks in the best way I know how. * * * * I read your heartfelt words From beginning to end So many lovely words From a faraway friend Your words were very moving And tears welled in my eyes You touched my inner soul As my heart grew in size I hardly even knew you But you seemed to know me Through the words I had written There was so much you could see You put me on a pedestal So very humbled was I And as I read your words A tear escaped my eye Some people touch our lives And so soon become a part I thank you for your kindness And the words that touched my heart * * * * "My friend is like a bark rounding a tree He warms like sun on a Winter day He cools like water in the hot noon His voice is ready as a Spring bird He is my friend And I am his" I am in motion |

How words can just make you feel so, happy, and yet so sad, is why I love poetry! Poetry can do so much, without doing much at all. Read ^ there, because you are reading the wrong part! |
