I THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

I THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT



I thank you for your unflinching support.
All throughout my days of difficulty
Now that I am finally out of woods,
I wish to say how much thankful I am.

No doubt I was totally out of wits.
I did not know how at all I would stay.
Had you not constantly shown your wisdom,
I would not today find that I’m living.

No amount of thanks to you is too much.
You can’t possibly look what’s in my thoughts.
But I may simply say this unto you,
That what I am today is but for you.

Pray pardon your pupil for all his faults.
I just did not know about your magic.


• Written in pentameter

• Written for the “Taboo” contest, "Invalid Item" , Round Two, where it was a taboo to use a word that began or ended with the letter e. I have gone beyond the given requirements and have not used the letter e anywhere in the poem.
