Jan Allison

I sought the best 
To win this contest
I wanted it done Judy's way.
I needed to know if I fit the bill;
And could write what she wanted it to say.

I used a form,
Which was not my norm
And stumbled upon mistakes
But on the scene was my Queen
And she was there for my sake.
She viewed my spews,
And told me what to do.

In her review
She found a few
That I needed to correct.
She was gentle with her words;
Didn't make me feel like a reject.
And through it all when it was done
I came out on top, I am (#1) one.

I found a friend across the water
And she is worth more than a quarter;
She is worthy of her call
She has that influence to bring out greatness
And she is willing to do if for you all.

Thanks Jan  I know you can.
Penned 12:50p.m. 4/7/2015.

Daisy: What a small world. I was looking over your work in response to your having mentioned me on another site in a short list of Christian authors from PoetrySoup, when I came across this lovely work. Jan has been a wonderful encouragement and inspiration to me in the on again, off again, experience I've had with my writing. Thanks for both "good deeds", Daisy. oldbuck
