A Thank You Note

A Thank You Note Today I woke up and gave thanks to God that I am alive and feeling a little stronger. I also thanked him for giving me this extra day in my life. I also thought to myself - how do I thank people like you, that have been so kind to me in my time of need. I know that all your prayers have helped me a lot. It feels nice to have people and friends like you in my life. We all need at least one friend in our lives and I am very fortunate to have all of you. You are the special people that God has put in my path. I don't have any other way to say thank you, than to say it from the bottom of my heart. I will ask God to bless each and everyone of you, because you are like Angels that help me fly when my wings wanted to fold... 07/31/2014 By Lucilla M. Carrillo Note: I still have until the end of next year to be here. I may still write something and read some poetry every now and than.

JSL. Thank you so much for your nice comment. There are about 4 other poems on drugs here. I just want to make a difference in some young person's life. I hope I have. That was back on the 14th of April. God bless you...

Monterey; Thank you so much for all your support. I had thought of to quit writing, but at the moment it is all I can do, or read poetry, when ever I can.
