    It's not really what I aksed for, but with this one I shall forgive as it portrays the message so well. It speaks of exactly what I am looking for. It describes this site so well So for that reason It will be considered as an entry along with all the others

    This was an inspiring write to read. I hope many many others see it and gain the inspiration I did

    Could you please though, put into your author notes which family member you would like to be, if you win

    Thank you and Good Luck

    You know, this needs featuring. That is exactly how to build community. So many say they do not get comments and do not have mentors. If they only took the time to really study and get to know other poets on the site, they will ahve more comments than they know what to do with. ty for this entry.

    Very well said, what we all do on this site. We are one big family, and some we know better than others, some we get along with better than others. Great flow, rhythm and rhyme with sentiments well expressed in these lines. Easy to read and understand too.

    Most beautiful

    Marvelous write and so true.  Thank my friend for giving me a good firm slap in my face, for I have been a very bad girl and have spent much of my value write time writing something I should have never have let go so long. This is another one of those ESPish moments I really getting a little goose pimply now. Are you keeping tabs on my computer or what? This poem is perfectly worded, the flow of words is great, ect. I must also say this poem is very timely. Have you read "Did you have somebody!" yet. I not please do!   or at least, the comments after the poem.
