Okay i know this is a bit early but i may not be around for my yearly anniversary, i'm going on a big vacation and i don't know if i'll have internet access for that trip. but back on topic... i wrote you guys a poem. because i feel if i can put the time and effort into staying on this site for that long i can give at least something back... so here it goes...
A Year's Journey
The journey of a year
Tis something that few have faced
It is one filled with both joy and fear
One that must be embraced
I've gone to hell and back
And endured pains and woes
Without so much as a scratch
Except on my human soul
I see you all as friends
Something rare to come by
Not like most of the trends
That I've seen leave and say goodbye
Now i sit here in the light
All my friends around me
Knowing everything's alright
Knowing they want a story
So I sit here now to tell a tale
One of death and glory
It is the time that I'll unveil
The tale that is my journey
It started all the way back when
In the midst of winter
It was the time of year again
When I missed my sister
I prayed to god, though it was he who left me undone
Why was it that he took from me a member of my family?
I know now that I've grown, he must have had a reason
He must have heard, my prayer that is, as he pulled me from the sea
For i found a site, that could help me mourn
And what a sight to see
for when i saw it, i knew then that i would be reborn
This site to me was more then anything else could be
On this site i found several of my current furry friends
Furry as my sister was, though they could speak in English.
These friends i know will be there for me till the very end
A star had passed through my life, one upon I made a wish or should i say a promise
Though i may have strayed once from this very oath.
As here and now i reveal this secret that for long i held inside
that time would heal and begin to sprout the growth,
of who i am today you see, and this secret spread world wide
The creed I lived for was to let go of the past, and yet not abolish
The memories that should stay with me
It was the best promise I've made, for it seemed for this wish
Wanted to come to life and dance for all to see
As for this site with furry friends there were some who stood out
KM you were my first friend here and i miss you everyday
And Letters you too a friend, a name i can't forget without a doubt
Then there is always Mike, thought i might forget you EH?
Now there are many more I'd like to list
TeenSimba AC and Moka
They may not have been the first or last
Still good friends they were, and then there's always Amanda
How could i ever forget who taught me Hanukah Matatah
He was not a lion though
Yes i said not a lion, no! I say he was a cheetah
and his fur was filled with snow
Now this list could go on and on,
Until this whole site is named
I'll only say a few more, so please don't feel withdrawn
If your name is not said it is not me who can be blamed.
As i continued to search through this awesome place
I found a member whose name was in green
you see, I can now see i was wrong to embrace
The thought that he was thought to be as strict as can be
Yes this member it's funny though maybe only to me
That he has his own radio station
KK you're as cool as can be
Though for this I'm sure he knows he needs not my nomination
The year moved on as did some of the friends i made.
But then new ones came again and again
These new friends had pulled the blade
Out of my heart without even cutting a vein
Six six, Ivan and TRP
I made new friends though kept the old
They were always friendly as can be
None were made of silver, i say all were made of gold!
I've been through the highs and the lows
Of this thing we call life
I swear that i shall stay true to my vows
To live free of something called strife
This year went all too fast
For me to be with you all
i wish i could make it last
Forever and ever and that's all i can recall…
now I've told you my story
of times come and past
and i look forward to the future
For more times filled with glory
and for more times to be called blasts
But for now i have closure....
Thanks for reading, and like i said i know it's a bit early but i might be away for a vacation...
