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.

Up the ladder: Sonnet

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.
