And There Was a Day...

Somehow, I don't know how, I wound up at the Soup... The minds I have exchanged thoughts with, I could find nowhere else... The Sharons, the Christys, the Hecks... These are jewels of humanity Whose eyes see so much deeper Than the most educated fool, And there are so many of you!!... I doubt the reality of my life... I've never been this lucky.... I've never found minds that match mine in rambling thought, Now I have found them all over the world, So many who I will learn so much from... Best of all, these are people who take an interest in my life, And even worry about me... When I disappear into the medical Nightmare ahead... The satisfaction of knowing, these minds, and that my words are out there... Maybe they will make sense to some, Maybe a smile, Maybe a revelation... But, in any event.... My words are posted... My thoughts, my dreams, My life...open to all for review... And it feels good.... For I am assured these readers... Will understand, What most would not... You are my valued friends... You have made me walk all the taller, You have made me think thoughts I might have missed... And you have provided me... With the "Safe Harbour" of Sharon... My favorite poem... Although you are all gems, All I can say is thanks, buddies... Keep those words flowing... You ARE helping people."
