Thank you very much, Dejure, for your kind sentiments and words.  It was definitely an emotional write straight from the heart, but knowing much better poets joined the competition, I was joyfully surprised to
have been nominated for the lead.  

Thank you, cold_fusion, for the acknowledgment sentiments.

Beukez...thank you for hosting such a simple, yet emotional, competition!

To the public who voted....thank you for placing your votes....and to those who nominated my entry, thank you for the high honors!  

Thank you all....😊

Dejure & Dani girl....congrats to you both as well!  Wish DUP would honor its runner-ups with awards as well, not just the stage!  

I admire those who have the courage to write poetry and even more to let others be honored in ready another's thoughts and feelings!
