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.
