To all of my friends
The old with the new
Elderly and young
At Poem Hunter
You're like family
Brothers and sisters
Not playing some sports
But playing with words
Creating poems
That bring some tears
Of laughter and pain
On a cloudy day
You let sunshine in
You encourage me
To test my limits
Go beyond comfort
Write in new styles
Stretch mine idle mind
And not vegetate
In retirement
You are a second family
Sharing pain and sorrow with me
I give you mine empathy
Sharing laughter and joy with me
I give you lighter poetry
Sharing my pain and sorrow with you
You give me a brighter tomorrow
Sharing my laughter and joy with you
You bring out the comedy in me
You are my family...
And I thank God for you!
