Fellow Soupers

My friends My friends The ones who tell me when my poetry is bad The ones who give me hugs when I'm down My friends My friends You have helped me blossom Into the world of poetry Letting me explore my creativity And see the ways of others Sharing your own works Giving helpful suggestions Soup Mailing when a talk was needed Chatting and laughing like old friends When the people in world Didn't seem so supportive Of my dreams to become a poet You were there, and you lifted me up Helping me see a new perspective You let me know I wasn't alone Constructing me a path With many freedoms Now as I work towards getting published With the help of my family at that I must thank my fellow soupers Without you I wouldn't be where I am My friends My friends You've truly helped me see All that I can be My friends My friends Thanks so much, for all you have done to help me see what I can achieve. I am working with the help of my family on getting published now, and I believe a great much of it is owed to you. I'd especially like to thank, Carolyn Devonshire, Maryam J. Haniff, Breana Wiggins, Tyesha Ehigiator, John Loving iii, Christopher Ferguson, Derrick Burton, and Alli B. I couldn't have done it without all of your support. Thanks again!
