Another Year

Another Year

---

If I had another year, I'd not have enough time

to tell you what is on my heart, you know?

The gratitude of a lifetime for those of you here;

The gratefulness I absolutely need to show.

 
To all of you who've walked along with me;

Who've lent their shoulders for my frequent tears -

To those of you who have reached out and taken my hand,

Your faithfulness has chased away my fears.
 

A year doesn't see to be that long, I suppose;

But time enough to discover, yes it's true!

There was oh so much I thought I needed and yet

I discovered all I really needed was you.

It has been one year since I wandered in here just looking to find a place of safety as a new writer. Thank you to all my friends and sisters here.

And thanks especially to Erin, who provided me with an opportunity and a home to learn and grow and heal through my writing. You are truly special, dear one, and I am so grateful that you have given me...given us the best fiction site on the web! Thank you!
