A Thank You for WDC On It's Eighth Birthday

Within each day, a party can be found
When community becomes family;
Where braids of friendship are so tightly wound,
there are new members welcomed happily.

When community becomes family,
creative minds are never rejected;
There are new members welcomed happily,
so that more kinship may be erected.

Creative minds are never rejected,
everyone lives by the first amendment,
so that more kinship may be erected,
as, each day, our friendships are cemented.

Everyone lives by the first amendment,
and we celebrate our Freedom of Speech
as, each day, our friendships are cemented,
seeing, with words, no star is out of reach.

And we celebrate our Freedom of Speech
with every poem, story, and essay,
seeing, with words, no star is out of reach,
as our family grows closer each day.

With every story, poem, and essay
we glance into each other's world and heart
as our family grows closer each day,
with a prayer and promise never to part.

We glance into each other's world and heart,
Gracious for those who brought us together;
With a prayer and a promise never to part,
WDC will last forever!

Gracious for those who brought us together,
We thank you, SM, and, you, SMS!
WDC will last forever,
And we have only you to thank for this!

We thank you, SM, and, you, SMS,
On this eighth birthday of Writing.Com,
And we have only you to thank for this:
For family that is a heal-all balm.

On this eighth birthday of writing.com,
where braids of friendship are so tightly wound,
For family that is a heal-all balm,
within each day, a party can be found.
