So here I sit to think what I’ll
deliver for the thousandth time.
Well, first my thanks to you who come
to visit and to comment on
my ramblings: subjects quite diverse
in prose and mostly rhyming verse.
I much enjoy your company
that bits and bytes make possible.
A social gathering designed
to air the thoughts that spring to mind;
share joy and sadness that pertain
to days exciting and mundane.
Although the Twitter sirens call
with powers to quip and mesmerize
a blog can offer broader charms:
while welcoming with open arms
it serves to share those pearls that rise
stirred by the muse in gentler guise.
A new millennium is near
just one more step and I’ll be there
advancing on time’s ladder tall
the past below always on call.
I hope you’ll join the climb with me.
Where will it lead? We’ll wait and see.
Jan Freeman's Wanderings - Let Nature be your guide 
It’s a breathtaking climb with much to inform and inspire – I have learnt a lot about all sorts of things, myself and the vagaries of human behavior, Jan 😉
Indeed. Eventually, I suppose one must reach a height where the oxygen runs out 🙂
I have learned a lot from my friends on the internet and enjoyed much beauty too … much appreciate bloggings broader arms … and the sentiments you’ve shared in this poem, which is charming, Jan.
Thank you, Jamie. Reaching out across the waves.
