Farewell For Now Soupers

Farewell my friends, will be leaving you shortly, it's been a joy reading your very beautiful poetry, that many times has brought a warm and gentle feeling to my soul. The encouragement and the support you have given me has been overwhelming. Many times I have felt like giving up, but the comments and other words you have written have made me want to go on and keep writing. I want everyone who has just read my poetry or commented to know how much it has met to me. I will be leaving but hoping that it is not very long. Know this we all need each other, so that it will enable us to keep writing. We all have to write every day to keep our minds fresh. Written 8-17-11
