I’m So Blessed to Be an Integral Part of the Beautiful Medium Community
I love you guys more and more each passing day
This poem is my way of conveying my appreciation of all of you — my beloved Medium family.
It is entitled: Why Do I Love Thee, Let Me Count the Ways
Thank you most kindly, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, for the prompt (not that you had a choice, lol).
Without further ado:
Why do I love thee, let me count the ways
I love thee because you embrace me exactly as I am
Despite my flaws and blemishesI love thee because when I’m in the depths of despair
You’re always there to listen to me with all your heartI love thee because you bring out the best in me
Even on those days when I’m feeling buried in the bluesI love thee because of your abundant courage and wisdom
So vulnerably and honestly expressed in your inspiring wordsI love thee because of who you are — kind and compassionate
These days the world needs people like you more than ever beforeI love thee because I have found my true family in all of you
Not my biological one but the one I was always meant to have
