FROM ME TO YOU

I don't recall when or why
I entered the realm that is
Boondocker's Poetic Justice.

I've been there, off and on
For not quite a year
But at BPJ, I am at home.

I am the baby of the group,
The one with a different insight
Into the world of the Veterans.

I don't know their pain -
I don't pretend to -
But they all know I care.

I have big sisters and big brothers too;
One has gone home,
But his daughter remains.

Becky and Faye; Ms. EE too
With Tony and Cal,
You make me feel loved.

Boon and Chuck, Randy and Russ too
Could I ask for better friends
than all of you?

I thank you for your love,
For your wisdom and service too;
For laughter, for tears,
and for the times we've shared.

Most of all I thank you
For being who you are;
And for putting up with me!
