I'm using my one hundredth post to send you all a rose

To all of my dear friends; each day more friendship grows

This lovely writing family; I'm so happy that I chose

The feeling that I have for you; I'm praying that it shows

I'd like to raise my glass to you and make a cherished toast

This may be a milestone, but more than just a post

My way of saying thank you to my friends and to our host

I see your souls so vividly; you're lovelier than most

If I could make a speech for you, I fear I'd never quit

There's no one I could stand to miss, not even for a bit

Some are kind, some are sweet and others have such wit

You're like a Worldwide puzzle; I'm so thankful that I fit

…………………………………………………………………………

(Special recognition for a few that go the extra mile)

I truly thank you Margaret; you're there for me each day

I also thank you Helen for the prayers you send my way

Gary for your friendship and your awesome interview 

I'm sure without you Terry, I just wouldn't have a clue

My friend and brother Nomi for the soon upcoming favor     

Karenina, for your kindness and the friendship that I savor

So honored by the gifts Sally; they really were the best

We'll celebrate together Pam; this birthday and the rest

And Jan you are so helpful, I'm so happy you're a friend

I wish I could keep going, but this poem would never end
