This is so typical of your endearing modesty, dear friend. Your suprise that any of us might hold you in high regard.

And I, in turn, hold you - and the GA community in deep and high regard, too. Happy Thanksgiving (though it may not be an official holiday across the pond).

Wonderful poem, and so true.  It's the love and memories that make gold pale in comparison.  I'm thankful for you, my friend.

What they said, dear friend. This is perfection... warm, stirring, and beautiful... I give you thanks.

Lovely poem. Thank you, Parker. xo

Thank you, tim, for so very much. 

If I equate what I have read to the progress of a meal, this poem is like the warming snifter of brandy in my hand. Mature, mellow and yet well equipped to be piquant, it's a worthy end to a rhetorical feast. 

Thank you for sharing your gifts with us, and you really have become a master at the Rubaiyat form. It's an inspiration

Gold and worldly treasures can be taken from us. Thank you for reminding me the true treasures are ours forever. A blessed and happy thanksgiving be yours.

Wonderful poem, Parker. 

Your words are a treasure, and I’m thankful that you share them with us. 

Have a very happy Thanksgiving..
