I Am Blessed

Another year speeds by The calendar is unforgiving Time marches on As I try to go on living It won’t be easy But I have friends I can count on So many friends, Unknown until now True friends come through When I need them most They say that to have a friend You must first be a friend I wonder if I qualify?

This is indeed a fantastic place to meet people who understand. The mainstream population doesn't seem to "get it." Poetry Soup and its participants are a refreshing surprise!

So nice of you to say, John. That means a lot. As I read your comments I'm starting to think of you as a friend as well. I hope you're having a wonderful weekend! Ellen
