A Garland of Roses For My Poet Friends

A GARLAND OF ROSES FOR MY POEt FRIENDS  


People in my present
and those in my past.
Mean more to me than 
any other happening.
I know their names, their 
smiles and hugs and as 
long as I live, their faces, 
love and attitudes, really 
overwhelm me with sunrise
gratitude.

I need not be the leader of 
the poetical pack!
But they comment, soupmail 
and are such a support, I know 
that they always have my back.

I wanted to thank all most publicly.
With humbleness and simplicity.
Some make me laugh at my
constantly questioning myself!

I am not Sarah Sonnet and not
the best!
But for my circle of friends, know
that I will have a smile on face each 
day, and on the final one.
When I am put to final rest....

                    Gratefully, 
                    Panagiota
    
                     6/22/2021
                        *****

 Dedicated to all those special to me:
 You know who you are!

Well...depends on what one means by best: the beauty of honesty, with loving intent through tender expression is always best. Sincerity while nurturing, for deeply caring, is always best. A desire to uplift self and all one's brothers and sisters, excelling in positive nature, is always best -- me thinks, you are the best!
