Your Ray (For Adeleke's Contest)

Ray of sunshine peers provocatively out of the misty gray
Be assured your fervent feelings I will not betray
Thank you for confirming that love lives to find a way
Thank you for opening your happy heart to me today
Thank you for keeping my foolish fears at bay
Thank you for finally freeing my soul of its dismay
Thank you for striving my sadness to allay
Thank you for responses, replies without delay
Thank you for healing hurts that heavily weigh
Thank you for not tearing or toying with my heart in play
Thank you cannot completely express all I wish to say
Thank you seems such a simple, understated way to convey
Your gifts are so stunning, a brilliant bouquet
The joy I have found from you, your sunshine, your ray
 

For Adeleke’s “Through… thoughtful and thankful” contest

What an enchanting write Carolyn, you sure captured the essence of being thankful in your piece, sometimes when I sulk I forget the many blessings and things to be thankful for. Thanks for the reminder my friend.. Enjoy your weekend, love Wilma

What an enchanting beauty in this lovely write. Like the lovely ray of sunshine it shines keep rolling from beginning till end. Very uplifting Poem My good wishes for its contest success. Many thanks for your precious comments on Patradoot. There was confusion in my expression. My father's colleagues became ministers not my father. He had left active politics when India got freedom in 1947, while his companions were busy in securing power & pelf and became ministers. Love best wishes Ravindra

Girl, what rhyme and time you have olay!!!!! JK lady, have only been posting, not commenting many for many monthes dear one, I miss you sooooo much! :) :) Things are purdy good, I left two projects in the dust, but good news is, I was crying to go back to the home I left when I was 16, I was blessed to find a special serenity in the wilderness. Praise God for the sanctity He gives with such graceful, loving, merciful hands! You must know I felt this write. it bugs me when friendship is cut-off.
