How often when alone <br />When questioning the value <br />Of the lines <br />I so needed to write, <br />Has a sentence come <br />From a Poemhunter reader <br />A sentence <br />Which made me believe <br />If only for a self- deceptive instant <br />That what I write <br />Really might mean something <br />To another. <br /> <br />Thank you so much <br />So many kind readers- <br />And don’t blame me too much please <br />For hoarding my writing time <br />Not reading your lines yet <br />With the generosity and grace <br />With which you have read mine.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-the-poemhunter-reader/
