Deep Recognition

Dear Mary,

Reading some of your poems brings me to tears, not of sadness, but deep recognition. I've been privileged to read some of your poems aloud, sometimes to people who said they didn't really like poetry, and they loved your words. One of your books is among the first I downloaded for my new Kindle, and more will follow as I love having your poems a click away. 

I'm looking for things I can say to let you know how much your writing means to me, and I'm not doing very well. Perhaps you can read my deep gratitude in the spaces between the words. With the multitude of others who love your work, I hold you in my thoughts and wish you all the healing you need.

Thank you,
Mary Pat Lynch
