How does anyone like myself
aspire to learn and write
to have a horizon to reach
without people like you?
To know the talent you have,
read beauty and use of words
feel the meaning and eloquence
of your work is a gift you give.
What you have done and do
not only in what you write
but in the time you give
and all you do is special.
Sometimes one feels a certain solitude
we, in our own way, venture through it
often not realizing the path of our journey
has created something of profound value.
Look around you, Wanda at all the love
all the respect and all those inspired,
the many who have learned and find worth
there's great value in your poetry
your heart so resplendent
in who you are.
You are the stars coruscate.
Author notes
thank you Wanda for all you have given to so many in the words you write and all you do. I do hope youare feeling better soon. My prayers are with you.

Very well said, my friend. Your heartfelt feelings for our Wanda, encapsulating all she does for so many of us was touching...
"What you have done and do

Wanda will love it, Poet!
Good luck in the contest.

I'm just a Poet, 's all. I merely hold onto the pen while it dances the night away. 
I have been inspired by so many here at AP & elsewhere ~ if I have inspired only one person in any way, then my life's work has been worthwhile. Thank you for writing such a lovely & flattering piece for me, Poet. I appreciate the gesture immensely. Good luck in the contest. Wanda

This is lovely and your voice has a wonderful authenticity about it. You've captured so many of Wanda's qualities in this poem, especially the way she gives to others. I know this one will touch her heart... thank you so much for writing this for her.

A beautiful dedication full of truth and i feel so very heart felt ...you have given yourself over to your heart and penned not from the mind but the soul of the writer. You amaze me HH in what you say and the manner in which you string those words together creating a beautiful poem....A pleasure
