This morning I was notified by TPS that I had been gifted a lifetime premium membership and that the donor wishes to remain anonymous. I have been given an incredible gift. A gift that cannot be wrapped in a pretty box with a bow but something I will cherish and use for the rest of my life - the gift of words on Poetry Soup. It is impossible to put into words what I want to say to this amazing person. Thank you just doesn’t come close. I want them to know that I will use this gift wisely and will continue to learn and grow as a poet. I try and make people smile with my humourous poems but today I can’t wipe away the smile I have on my face. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Hugs Jan xx 10~14~16
