Thanks to @francisbossertauthor for the kind note sending best wishes, and for restacking words of mine. I always get a little thrill when I see that - see how they resonate with other writers.

My sincere thanks to @paulwittenberger1 for restacking this a second time simply because it contained a note thanking all those who had responded to "In the Forest & Other Poetry" in any way. What a nice gesture, Paul.

Thanks to @tommyswerdlow for the restack and for including on it this bright gem of truth: "There's magic in the trees and there's magic in the words and there's magic in the woman. Please let that be my epitaph some day, but not too soon!

Thanks to @ ranjaniradhkrishnan for restacking this post and for calling my poems "songs of healing and hope." That is exactly what I hope they are!

Thanks to téarlach @chageesee for the restack and for quoting "Songbird". Not too surprising from one who loves music! But much appreciated.

What a marvellous poem, Bob! I feel so honoured that you have chosen to share it here, with writers and fellow poets , on my first Substack anniversary. Thank you so much. I'm going to print it out to read again later, when things quieten down a little.
