Dear Someone Special, thank you!!

Blog Posted by Susan Ashley: 3/10/2021 6:48:00 PM

Dear Someone Special,

once more, I am truly blessed to have a PoetrySoup angel. I am so fortunate to feel the wonderful warm embrace of kindness in my life. My heart has been swaddled, yet again, by the gentle gesture of an anonymous benefactor. Though I feel these words can never fully express my heartfelt gratitude, thank you so very much my generous angel, for granting me the gift of a Lifetime Premium Membership.

I am elated, I was speechless (which is not like me.. haha) and I am deeply honored and humbled. My appreciation is beyond mere words. It is my great pleasure and privilege to share in poetic fellowship with the extraordinary poets and poetesses here at the Soup, whose artistic gifts I adore and admire. To my generous benefactor, may my grateful vibrations cross the universe to find and hug your dear heart.

Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
