  Thank you, Debbie. It was a surprise, a happy one!! 🙂 BTW, I’ve written more than 100 poems, and I decided to pick about 50 to make a book with the theme of love and gratitude. ❤ I'll have my daughter to read them first. 🙂

      I belong to a writing critique group. I’ll let them hear my poems and see if they’re any good. 🙂
