A Little Gift
Chatterbox: Down to Earth
A Little Gift
A Little Gift
Every now and then I feel inclined to give you all a little gift. I like waiting until we have a bunch of new CBers so they feel welcomed too. So here's something for you all:
Lovely Smiles, Laughs, and Love
Friends, aren't they such a wonderful thing?
Lack thereof puts one down yet
Choosing is a heartbreaking, swallowing process all in itself
Some are fortunate enough to run across
A batch there with open arms
With lovely smiles, laughs, and love they welcome all
From the talented artists of
Lap R., Lucy B., Bluebird, Katydid, Caroline, June, and all
Whose quill and ink never run dry
Ideas as fountainous as the ocean itself
Love, do they to make others smile with
Elementgirl, Starseeker, GeenMango, Leafpool, Silver
Oh, and with laughs do they give
From General Waffleson, Inky, Squid, to Epic Fangirl
In voices, they call out wisdom, knowledge with years
Oregano, Abigail, Mei, Cockleburr, Clouded, Daisy, I call out to you
With loving arms, for years of time itself
Admins one two and three keep careful watch with golden hearts
Or those whose skills in the pen leave one speechless
From Gared and Brooke's sci-fi, Elementgirl's fantasy, Claaws's beautiful worlds
And all those in the place who change your perspective
On life for eternity, opening doors that were locked all before
When your heart breaks with sadness, who might be there?
In a regular world of hatred and abnormal disregard
Mixed in is a small nook of beauty, where every single soul
Gives their hearts to lift another up, even with wars and disagreements
How can it be so that such a perfect place exists?
One might find the flowing youth a source, no need to look for its fountain!
With pen in hand, they change the world, voices ranging from small to big
President, they could be, and a great one too
To starting an orphanage, a rally, a theatre, each person
Will have the mind to explore the windows, so go fly, my friends
To the world beyond your imagination, a place
So peculiar in its beauty, so tempting in the call
Where you will change all in existence

Excuse me, Booksy, I beg to differ. You are AMAZING. You do give wonderful advice and make me feel so much calmer when I talk to you. You are so creative and make amazing charries, plus you can write for them BEAUTIFULLY. (I've never seen you be cadly!) You are in no way useless. I need you here because you're part of Team Fifteen, because you are empathetic and kind, but mostly becuase you are my friend. Because you are kind, loving, and gentle. Because I love you. *hugs*

Okay, reading through the comments this was the first one I had to respond to. First off, thank you very much! Secondly, while I did not include you in my poem (only so much room, you know? :D) I do want you to know you are valued and loved here on the CB! You have brilliant ideas, writing, and are skilled in compassionate in all you do. To me, the most important character in a person is their sympathy, compassion, and care for others. You have that almost more than all I know. So don't forget how wonderful you are, Booksy!

Aw, thanks so much, Ashlee. And, just to clear things up, my comment had nothing to do with not being included in the poem, your poem was amazing and all the people included certainly deserved to be. I was having a bad day, I guess... Anyhow, your comment made me feel a lot better! Thanks! *hugs*

This is so sweet, Ashlee!

That is soo sweet, Ashlee. Thanks so much, you are so nice and that really made me feel like I really belonged. Thanks so much for that gift. You are so nice. I would really like to reply with something else really nice, but I'm not sure that I can handle that . Sorry. I would really want to throw something really nice, too, at you. Thanks again, Ashlee.
Thanks again, Lola
P.S. Are you a celebrity? You are so awesome at really nice things!!

I am glad you liked it, Lola! It's okay, you do not need to reply with something else. Just hearing from you guys makes me smile!
Oh, and nope, I'm not a celebrity (as far as I am aware), I just find it a good thing to be supportive and nice to people. Especially on here!
