A poem, “I Thought”, on the website begins with

I thought no once could see me, standing by the wall;

I knew no one would help me, should I ever stumble and fall.

Later on in the poem

But I’m glad you say my helpless face-you made certain I would thrive.

Take a moment to read the poem in its entirety.

Cheers, Kathy
