A Million Thanks

I was searching my mind for a theme to choose for my very first poem of the year turns out it was an easy choice to thank some friends who I hold so dear. I've never met any one of these folks but I consider them friends none-the-less I established their friendship on Poetry Soup and I consider them all the best. For their kind and generous comments to express how I feel is real tough the right words really escape me I just can't thank them enough. There's Sweetheart, Bob and Larry Wilma, DR Ram and Barbara G. Debra, Andrea and Sara who have all been so gracious to me. p.d., John F. and Hitendra Carolyn, Carol and Francine C.L., Audrey and Doris all friends who I've never seen. If it weren't for all these nice people I would have given up a long time ago Their encouragement made me keep trying and helped me much more than they know. When retired you tend to get dormant just sit sleeping or watching T.V. till I got involved with Poetry Soup that's what was happening to me. I don't want my brain to retire it needs to be active for sure My writing and the challenging contests help my brain to endure. So I thank all you wonderful Soupers believe me you are the best you kept me from becoming a bump-on-a-log of that I will attest. There are others who I haven't mentioned by name I hope no one feels slighted cause everyone I've ever dealt with I've always been highly delighted. A Healthy and Happy New Year to you all!

Happy New Year, and I hope you are enjoying your retirement. This is descriptively clear with some good rhyming.
