Vote Of Thanks.

Some smiled at me with sincerity,
Some gazed at me with furiosity,
Some said "let's raise him above hills",
Some said "let's fall him into the pit",
Some were eager to fight for me.
Some were ready to crucify me,
But here I am wondering,
Is all these attention meant for me?

To all my friends and my haters,
And the people that stand in-between,
Why are you so worried about my life?
When I only have a short time to live.
My time is actively running out,
And my moments is fading away quickly.
Yet I can feel you' making me stronger,
And you make life more interesting to me.

Nevertheless I really appreciate,
For every contribution you've ever made.
I thank those that stayed beside me in pain,
I appreciate those that stood so far away.
Those that made me smile always,
And those that pinch me along the way.
Thank you all for coming into my life,
I love you all with all my heart.

I'm going on a break for a while. I'll be back too soon. And before I go, I think I should share this piece of appreciation.
Thank you.

these words are definitely how many of us feel....those who stick with us through the bad and the good are real friends...
writers get each other....many others don't...
we appreciate each other for that, don't we?
really nice expression in this...
i definitely relate and appreciate.

Thank you so much for this, Jacob.
I'm glad you stopped by.

I am so glad you shared these words, my friend. The day and night of you, these pathways of love and hate, the places of joy and pain. When all of you is shared, others can know you more... and yes, then they choose if they will walk further on your path or depart... How I hope you return soon.

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

Thank you very much, Friend.
I'll back too soon.

An very sage way of approaching life and accepting that there are those who will love you and those who will not and not always with reason. Like the way you express the contrasts.

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

Thank you very much for this too, John.
I'll be glad to review your writing again after this short break that I'm going for.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Enjoy your break Kay.

Thank you for read requesting me on this so I can know your where-abouts . . . I'll be watching for your return, as you are a favorite of mine. I hope you feel refreshed & ready to write in new ways, upon taking a break. I took a 2-month break last winter & it really cleared my channels for writing anew. I always marvel at the way you look at life, & this poem is no exception. You reveal & respond to things about being on this website that I've never experienced or thought about (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

Thank you so much, Margie.
I really appreciate your encouragement, your concern and your contributions.
They are really uplifting and inspiring, they've really took me places and are still talking me places.
I'll be back here too soon and I'll make sure to come with greater insight.
Thank you very much once again.

A look at all the people who have touched your life in some way. It is good to be thankful, even to the ones who weren't so positive, because you can learn from those experiences. Have a good break and I hope you will return here soon Kay. I have been enjoying reading your poetry.
