Reflections Over a Cup of Soup Ii
‘Tis many days since I have joined this cyber family,
some even say my old poems suck, to that I may agree.
I struggled then to free my muse to speak more fluently;
What got me through, an eager heart to learn with constancy.
As I reached out with every poem they welcomed me like most
kindhearted ones that read my page and leave comments on posts.
I do believe without these men and women who comment
I would have stopped posting the poems, full of angst and lament.
They all are there, day in, day out, my cyber family.
Some are parents, brothers, sisters, some are still like babies
We laugh, we cry, we disagree but make up the next day,
send notes to friends when they’re absent and then for them we pray.
Though now I still am far from great this thing I learned, I’ll share:
People will care ‘about what you think when they think that you care.
Allow me then to say my thanks, my deep appreciation
For stopping by, for your replies and all the inspiration.
