I am beaming with pride this very moment. I have been writing for years and have never had the self confidence to submit a single poem or story to any publication. Thank you so much for your outstanding rating, kind words and generous donation of 300 GP's. Until now I never felt like a true writer. Your words have brought me joy and a feeling of selfworth. God bless you. Love, Word Warrior Thank you so much for reviewing this. I really appreciate it. I was dying to get some feedback. Thanks for the suggestions. I will try to improve the poem with your ideas. I'm glad you liked the last four lines. That's my favourite part too. Unicorn  Thank you so much for the gift points.
