My Thanks

For all of those who make a point
To comment on my rhymes,
No matter if it’s only once
Or very many times,

I want to let you know how much
I treasure your support,
Since even though in other poems
I’ve managed to purport

That all my writing’s just for me
(And mainly, that is true),
It’s such a lovely boost to hear
From readers such as you.

Now most of you I’ve never met
And likely never will,
But please accept my thanks and know
The joy you do instill.
