Paper With This Pen

There are many ways,
                           To express ones' appreciation these days,
                           There are poems, letters,and, thank you notes,
                           There are cards, and, yes even silly little quotes;
 
                           But no matter how we choose to start,
                           It needs to be a thank you from the heart,
                          Anybody can speak their mind,
                          There are very few who can speak from the heart and they are hard to find;
 
                           I have chosen to write on this paper with this pen,
                          To express the appreciation I have for you deep with-in,
                          To let you know how much I love, respect, and appreciate you is my goal,
                          Not only from my heart but, from the very depth of my soul;
 
                          You are the most giving person I've ever met,
                          And, everything you've done I shall never forget,
                           I said all that to say "THANK YOU" for a great thanksgiving 2007,
                          Believe me when I say there is a special place for you in heaven;.........
