Array ( [sid] => 94105 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Back from the Brink [time] => 2005-05-11 22:21:55 [hometext] => Please, I don't ask often, but please read this testimony of gratitude [bodytext] => It's because of her
I'm back from the brink
She was the catalyst
I know just not think

Contemplating my death
like in Jumpin' the Bridge
do I crack up the car
or suck live voltage

Neither came to pass
it was no accident
after reading the poem
that was so poignant

Haven't we all felt
or been touched by a poem
that we read on this site
that's our second home

I was touched by this poem
to which I owe life
for I'd given up
a victim of strife

A month has since passed
that I decided to live
but in thanks for this angel
I have nothing to give

Then the idea hit me
that my gratitude would prevail
was that we all show our thanks
and send her a mail

Her birthday is coming
on the 14th of May
Just click a link below
before Saturday

... and many thanks...

Oops, got the HTML way wrong on the e-mail link. It's what happens when you do this past 11 PM. This e-mail link should work: Link. The Private Message Link works fine.

God bless from Bill

This is wonderful. It is always great to let someone know they inspired you in a great way. I did click on the link and send her a Happy Birthday wish.

All the best,
Rita
