A Poet's Thank-you~

Thank-you for the pictures that will never leave thought's whispers

Thank-you for the smile that stirs the heart in spite of years

Thank-you for the vow that once-upon-a-time you made me

Thank-you for the poetry that has no words...but tears

Thank-you for the memories and all the inspiration 

Thank-you for a paradise that never disappears

Thank-you for the labyrinth of laughter and vexation

Thank-you for the poetry that spills its verse... in tears

Thank-you for the place that nothing can erase, save dying

Thank-you for the invitation to brave private fears

Thank-you for the answers to the heart-prayers I've been crying

Thank-you for the poetry that found its way...through tears

Janet~
