Thank you, Amanda!

Your congratulations mean a lot to me since you are a POTW, too.  As you know its a wonderful honor to here and its all to the credit of John & Pauline's dedication, to the members who nominate their friends and business partners and to the members who cast their votes.

I found this for you ... I hope you enjoy it.

Wild Australia

Sincerely,

Terry

Thank you, Judy that's a beautiful crown!  I will wear it with much pride.  Is it the same one you wore?  Bet it is!

Sincerely,

As always

Your Friend,

Terry

Thank you, Juliana!

I appreciate your stopping by. 

I wrote this poem a long time ago.  I wrote it through the eyes of a lonely child in the late 1800's.

Sincerely,

Terry

Images

Behold the candlelight,
Flicker of flames,
Silent images play their games,
Dancing shadows to amuse just me.
Puppets; gleeful, graceful, quietly
To and fro on the wall
I like Swan Lake best of all.

Behold the candlelight,
Laughter in my eyes,
Delighted by their gay good-byes.
Sunset colors, orange and red
Flickers out, now the moon instead
Thro' the curtained window pane
And my friends join me again!
