[hometext] => For Scott: the navy man that touched me so :)
[bodytext] => Is it possible for someone to affect someone so greatly With just words written in a moment of emotion Can it be that someone far away in such times of toil Will appreciate your work so much, feel such joy from reading it I can barely understand, barely believe how many people read my work How many love it, how many it touches Surely there are others that are much more deserving of this attention More talented writers, more deep poems But when that soldier wrote to me To share his love of my work and tell me how it transports him away Just for a moment, but a moment well spent It just brought tears to my eyes, and gave me reason to keep writing I can't let him down, he asked me to continue writing He needs the escape from war, from pain I feel so amazed, so shocked To know I impact someone so much So forever I will cherish him, the one soldier that made me realize Anyone can be touched by you, in any way and in any place So I'll keep writing and keep hoping And maybe I'll impact more lives, and bring happiness to more people [comments] => 2 [counter] => 249 [topic] => 37 [informant] => desolantdreamer [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => ThankYouPoems )
