Gratitude in Words

To all the kind souls who read my lines,
And took the time to leave a note,
I offer up my heartfelt thanks,
For the appreciation you wrote.

Your words of praise and affirmation,
Mean more than you can ever know,
They light a fire within my heart,
And inspire me to let my words flow.

The path of a poet can be lonely,
But with readers like you, it's not,
For your warmth and love and encouragement,
Are the things that I have sought.

I promise to keep writing,
To keep pouring out my soul,
For you have shown me that my words,
Can make a broken heart whole.

So thank you, dear readers,
For the gift of your precious time,
I'll keep sharing my thoughts and feelings,
And hope that you'll continue to find,
Comfort, joy, and inspiration,
In the words that I leave behind.
