At first I wasn't sure how the picture would fit or why you would have included a text image with your poem, but after I read the notes it seems that the actual poem is like a response to having seen the picture shared with you, and also the other event too.

    Hi Samantha -
    You have interpreted correctly - I thought of using a pic of Chad giving his farewell address, but felt that both events were so special in that short timeframe that I wrapped it all up in one poem on appreciation. I appreciate your comments. Thanks for following along.

Oh bless you! And sometimes the homes the kids come from aren't that bad but teens are much more receptive to advice from other peoples' parents. Great job with the heartfelt response in your poem by the well-deserved recognition you received, Kim!

    Hi Marilyn -
    I am juggling all of my hats this month... so far I'm almost keeping up lol The writing is there, the posting time falls behind until I can catch up on a day off. I'm just not getting many of those to work with so far this month. Thanks for the lovely response.

A very well-written poem and a wonderful motto to be there for our children all the time and let them know that we are there when they need a place where they can feel safe no matter what.

What an awesome gesture from your niece about your house, Kim, as well as the young graduate. I enjoyed reading your minute poem. Good job on its style. Your rhymes are great, the lines have great meter, and the message is clear. Good job and best wishes. Jan

I find it difficult to find the correct words to tell you how beautiful this poem is. I have always liked the minute poem and this is no exception. It is a terrific chapter in your book On Giving. I sincerely wish you all the best in this contest.

    Hi Sasha!
    What an honor to have left you almost speechless in this review. I'm so happy that you enjoyed this selection. I wasn't quite sure how to convey the feelings I experienced as a result of their generous gestures. After reading this, I think I must have hit the mark I was looking for. Thank you!

Dear Kim, Nice minute poem. I liked the rhymes, and the way you put together these two gifts to create a poem. I wrote a funny minute poem called "Wait a Minute," if you want to go in and take a look. Donna
