A single word;

a phrase or gesture

can trigger a feeling

of wondrous rapture.

 

To be told that you're worth

more than the drifting sands

that daily slip through

your trembling hands.

 

To be surrounded

by such appreciative people

makes me want to shout

from the highest steeple.

 

Words of thanks,

so loud that you all know,

that for you, the ink

will continue to flow.

 

Every word on every page

is written for you,

to last an age

and all I ask in return,

with humble grace,

is to see a smile upon your face.

 

My words are my gift

to you, my friends.

May they touch you in ways

you can keep till the end.

 

Long may my poems

continue to impart

all the love that I feel

deep within my heart.

 

Thankyou.
