Celebration
(For my 23rd on WdC)

Today, my heart *settles in a *continental
and worldwide embrace because WdC
did stand tests of time and place.

I *try to recall moments, big
and small, and how for each stick
in this *nest, I gave my all.

The years did *slam like waves upon
our shore; yet, we writers rose
to a *level, much deeper than before.

In this site of friendship where
dreams and hopes play, Happy 23rd to me,
on this special June *day.
