*~*~*
This year past had its ups and down
With things occuring,  some smiles,  some frowns
This is just life,  as we all know
If things never happened,  we might never grow

One day this year,  as searching for poetry
I came across something that has really helped me
I found a place,  where feelings,  poets release
A "home" called Passions,  where many find Peace

Whatever emotions I feel each day
When I write here,  many know what to say
They give encouragement,  when I feel down
Trying to help my feelings,  to take away the frown

Or when I am happy and filled with glee
All of you are here to laugh with me
Sometimes we let our inner child show
In my mind's eye,  I see your faces aglow

When each new one comes to our pages of blue
Kind words are said,  like "We welcome you"
I'm thankful for you all,  my sweet "Family of Friends"
The help and encouragement all of you give,  never ends

I'm glad to be a part of all of you
To return love and friendship,  I try to do
Wanting to encourage the sad and broken heart
To lend a helping hand,  I want to do my part

And when someone is rejoicing about something good
I will be right here smiling,  too,  as good friends should
I thank you one and all,  here at PIP
For many years to come,  all of you I hope to see

HAPPY  NEW  YEAR  TO  YOU  ALL

Ethel, Great poem. Just one minor suggestion to make this poem really great - put in a verse about how wonderful Long John is, and leave out Balladeer and Toerag, as they are both scurrilous scalawags.
