Personal Announcement:

This week I would like to share with you a great accomplishment of one of our Pubbers.  Michael Tyger published his 1000th poem on Wattpad!!  This is certainly deserving of a celebration!! I would like to offer up a big Congratulations to Michael.  He has agreed to share his poem with us this week, in the hopes of encouraging others to continue writing and reaching for the stars!

I would like to present Michael Tyger's 1000th poem on Wattpad:

A Thousand By MichaelTyger

Carefully and squarely stepping up

Making my way in a determined climb

The wind at my back looking up

but a thousand steps still takes time

and a day is like a thousand years

and I write a thousand years in a day

though at the start I had my fears

I remember the thousand things you say

Your life though passed is my song

Your heart still carries me along

Your eyes at the edge of all I see

Your joy is inspiration that motivates me

Here near the denouement I stand

waiting as if to find your hand

Taking a thousand breaths I wait

watching the skies foreboding gray

Yet I move on and meet that end

where I find my long lost friend
