Becca, Dear Becca

Becca, Dear Becca,
say it ain't so!
I hear that you're leaving and
from Soup you'll go.

You have many friends here,
who think you are a gem.
Don't listen to the haters.
You're so much better than them.

In fact, you should stay,
as they are probably just jealous,
of your sweetness and talent -
for poetry not pettiness they should be zealous.

Becca, dear Becca,
say you won't go!
You are a beautiful writer,
and loved more than you know!

Kim, I can always count on you, to take my hand, and stand by my side, and give me a little nudge in the right direction. You've always been a good friend to me here and I thank you for that and for who you are. It's people like you who make this place a nice place to be. I just have to remember that. Thank you so much for writing this sweet poem for me. Big hugs x

You are welcome, Becca. I only wrote the truth. I don't understand the need of some folk to tear others down. As long as I am around I will do my best to build others up. God Bless! Love, Kim

A fine tribute, Kim! I'll never understand people who have to put others down. It's always the good people who are affected...
