Your Heart of Gold

Many of you have visited me 
In this little corner of our world
Where words are measured 
And viewed as treasures
From somewhere deep within;
Yet rarely have I said, “Thank you” 
To all my poetic friends.  
For stopping by with good cheer and warmth 
Wishing me fare thee well;
Yet rarely do I reciprocate 
Your uplifting magic spell.  
Like star dust sprinkled everywhere 
From the kindness you extol;
This simple phrase is all I have 
To thank your heart of gold.

I can tell by the way you write, you are a sweet appreciative soul. It brought tears to my eyes to see Elizabeth Wesley down below, she is dearly missed, take care, be well and stay in touch, :)

Hi Rose, what a lovely and uplifting comment and I can't thank you enough for it. But there's more to this story than I can relate here. I've explained in PSoup Mail so please check and read it there. Thanks, Terry

Such a special guy you are; always ready to give of yourself for your country or friends on Soup. Maybe you are the hidden treasure we've waited for! Love, Lizzie
