    "There is nothing on this earth more to be prized then friendship" ~Saint Thomas Aquinas This contest was extremely hard to judge!! All of your entries were amazing, and heart-felt in their own way. I had a very difficult time deciding on the top three, but of those who didn't place there, I wish to express my sincere, soulful appreciation for your touching entries. You ALL bring a tear to my eye, and a ray of hope for humanity, for there are really peaceful, loving people yet in this cold world!! To all of you, I'd like to say a hearty THANK YOU!! and CONGRATULATIONS!! You are ALL winners in my view!! Your poetry is beautiful and it means a lot to me, more than you can know... I stand in awe of the number of enteries, as well. You all made my two-year anniversary celebration very special, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. This has also been the best turn out I've ever had for a contest. Thank you all so much for entering, I really appreciate your time, and the many happy well-wishes!! Hope you're all around for my next contest. Again, thank you ALL!! And have a great weekend!! Peace, Love & Hugs Always, xx Cyn xx
