In response to my Poem Dress Up With Words, a comment was left by a lovely man/blogger , whom I know as db. What he left behind for words had me wonder if it was a quote he had found and not one that came from his own heart. Well, it came from him and is of inspiration and confirmation that we should not only write to please, we must allow ourselves the right to write from our deepest corners.
Here is his message:
The reflection of the writerโs soul is not to be judged,
or critiqued, but merely accepted as the shade of the truth
with which God blessed that day the writers pen
I thank DB for his beautiful saying, shear loyalty to my blog and the comments that I anxiously await each and every time. With that said, I thank you all on this Day before Valentines and am glad to be able to send you all a timely wish of love, gratitude and thanks for all that are still with me after a rather quiet period. I am deeply thankful to you all.
With love, Heather
I thank you very much (and I’m so glad you didn’t nominate me for anything), it’s very nice to be recognized for the things we write, which is why I follow your wonderful page, because the things you write are always worthy of recognition. And just so you know, even though I am certainly old enough to be your father (probably grandfather) Sir is what I called my Dad, the D in my name is for David, and as someone I consider to be a friend, you are always more than welcome to use it. Thanks again, it is much appreciated.

“Sir” is something I seldom use….only when wanting to show deserved respect. (And you would laugh if you only knew that you are not at ALL old enough to be any of the above mentioned lol) Have a beautiful weekend, David…many thanks to you and for you….

If I were a true gentleman, I would not be speaking of a lady’s age at all. My apologies. But David will certainly do just fine. And I thank you once again for the lovely, and unexpected honor. My only objective in writing the comment was to pick your spirits back up because I thought one of the comments prior to mine was somewhat (and unnecessarily) critical. As one of my favorite poets, I felt it was a sleight that I could not leave unanswered. Have a great night.
