For YumnaKay - Thank you

There are those who have the blood of altruism rushing through them...

A pat on the back

just as your energy is flagging

in a race which you are both running

Or a whisper in your ear, which makes you

lift your face to the wind 

When a task ahead is dreaded

A smile from across the room

which lifts weights from you

When your head is lowering

A hand touching your arm

when you felt as if you might float

in the void on a zephyr of sadness

Or a joke without malice

which says much more than the 

sum of it's words

Sometimes the smallest gesture

Can mean the world...

A very nice, well-worded tribute. It leaves a soft and sweet feeling in the reader. "on a zephyr of sadness", that's an epic line.

I'm glad you find such goods words for her. This is def a good support, encouragement and strength provider.

You two are somehow cute in your ways of friendship. :)

[Tony Jordan]

Thank you Βανέ.
I'm beginning to like the attention I get from other writers whenever I mention Yumna's name in a write - lol - I guess you could say I'm basking in her reflected light.
:))
Thank you for commenting on this one.

[V]

That's expressed very lovely. You're welcome.

[barleygirl]

This is beautifully stated & shows us the fondness that goes along with the caring details of friendship. It is the simple things & you've captured some of them with originality & tenderness.

[wordman]

just one sweet word,one pat on the back

[Bala Gorthi]

A nice craft of gratitude! I loved your last verses.
Kind words and small gestures make a world of difference.
God bless such good friendship.

[Kesha]

You 2 are such wonderful friends, it's always fun to read your guys comments, bickering back & forth lol. What a lovely poem for a dear friend

[Tony Jordan]

[Kesha]

Well darn, unfortunately I am a righty and am still quite intelligent if I do say so myself lol. Haha Ned Flanders smh

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Of course leftys are more intelligent 'cause we use our right part of the brain lol 😂😉

[Kesha]

[Dr. YumnaKay]

[Tony Jordan]

[Dr. YumnaKay]

[Mr.Writer]

Lol, I got buried into the conv so I forgot :P

[Tony Jordan]

Dont worry Mr Writer - Yumna can clean up...

[Mr.Writer]

For sure Tony! ;) Yumna! Get two hot cocoa's! ;)

[Kesha]

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Oh and Mr.... I'm sending someone to take you out of the ruins lol 😂😂😂

[Mr.Writer]

Lol :D That would be helpful. Yumna, remember, ahsek also wants a cocoa, so 3 cocoas! no please ;)

[Tony Jordan]

Yumna you're going to have to feed Mr Writer his cocoa since he is buried up to his eyes in convo

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I think I'll just let him be 😂 he's looking cute with just his eyes here hahah 😂😂😂

[Mr.Writer]

lolol ;DD ;P

[Beccy]

So very true that the smallest gesture can mean so much; can lift that sense of isolation we all sometimes feel.

Just a fleeting smile is all it takes to make the world seem beautiful again.

Beccy.

[Nigel Newman]

Nicely observed and so true. The smallest things can lift us or re-direct us. Hope you don't mind me pointing out that the it's should be its. But basically I'm floating in the void on a zephyr ... of post tummy upset wastedness! Some very nice phrasing. Nice job!

[Samuel Dickens]

This is just beautiful, and the last line reveals pure truth. Much of my early life was at the bottom of everything. No need to tell the story, but I swear I remember every one of those sparks of hope that someone gave me. Now, I try to give that back. This one really touches me.

[Tony Jordan]

I too Samuel have a 'guest book' where those decent human beings made a mark in my life and I cherish every one of them and also try to make a little difference when I can.
Thank you - you're a true gentleman Samuel.

[Najam Us Saher]

This is so sweet. A very nice write which shows true friendship and concern. ☺

[Alisa Js]
