Gratitude
By Dana Rettig



When the world had sliced my soul, you healed my scars.
When people said that I was bleak, you told me to keep reaching for the stars.

When my mother and I had a disparity, you understood my pain.
When I cried because my man left me, you gave me a Kleenex to wipe away the tear stains.

When I thought I was not going to pass my classes, you told me to keep striving.
When I wanted to put my pen down, you told me to keep writing.

When I wanted to die, you told me to breathe.
When I wanted to hold on to the past, you told me to leave.

When I could not find a job, you told me to hold on.
When I told you that hope had vanished, you said, “Not for long.”

When I said I wanted to become an author, you said, “You can do it if you deem”.

Therefore, if it was not for you, my dear friends; I would not have been able to achieve my dreams.

Thank You!

That's great, Dana. It's one you could put in a special card that you designed for those very dear and special people.

Thanks for the love, Ms. Connaway. I appreciate the love and support greatly. I will definitely look into getting my poem published in Hallmark cards. I always wanted to do that, anyway. I find Hallmark cards very sweet and admirable. Thanks for the idea! Peace and blessings. -Dana Rettig

Ms. Watkins, I saw the draft and I must say that is wonderful. DO NOT change the format. Let it be. Secondly, I tried to send you my bio, but it did not go through, so I will try again tomorrow. Again, thank you for giving me a chance to do this. Peace. -Dana

Ms. Watkins, you can leave the draft you had alone. It's fine the way it is. I like the way u presented it a lot better. So, don't worry about it. Thanks for the editing and again, I appreciate the love and support on my work.

I will re-send u my bio if u had not received them. Peace and blessings. -Dana Rettig
