Thanks (Dovina) (Free verse) by jroday
A poem ran from the end of my pen into my heart, and out again; up to the sky, and down to the sea, and back on faltering wings to me. Clear as an echo then, I heard a sound-- a yet unwritten word: a lovely cadence, like silver flame, a poem in itself: your name. You have given back my smile,I seemed to have lost it for a while, you inspire me to reach for my goals; bringing me joy and love untold. You're always building me up, and never putting me down. Your friendship I know is from the heart, and from that I never want to be apart. I want to give that friendship in return. From you I am beginning to learn. Thank you for your words, they fall sweet and tender.. Thank you for listing, whenever I want to talk. Thank you for your trust, even when you dont understand. These words of thanks warm and true, are sent from me over to you.

The first verse of this poem is the most tender and nicely worded sentiment I have read in a long time. Some people on this site will say I’m just swooning to a line. Let them talk, because I believe you. I’ll give them their only satisfaction by saying that the second verse is a bit cliché, but it too is something I believe you mean. The third verse matches the first in warmth and tenderness, and the line, “even when you don’t understand” is perfect.

Thank you jroday, you’ve been through a lot and come through strong.
