Poetrysoup Poet

I have found many friends on our site They have helped learn how to live right Friends encouraged me to find my way Friends held me in the prayers they pray During my absence away from this site My soul and I fought a constant fight Because deep inside these words are true I love the time I spend with all of you I hope you all know without any doubt I love taking my soul and laying it out Because when it comes to life it’s my turn I’ve so much to give so much to learn I’ve kept my summer free so I can show it How much I love being a PoetrySoup Poet

Though we missed you what you were trying to accomplish was way more important in your life at the time. Now that you have more time and are able to be here it will be wonderful. But......keep quality time for the family also. Hope your son in adjusting to his deployment (as best as he can). Thank you Michael for your comment and catching my mistake for me. Love and blessings to you and yours always, Carol YF4L
