I wrote this poem a while ago when I particularly appreciated how one or two local people were encouraging and helping me with my card venture. However, it's very apt again as this group is encouraging and appreciating the poetry I am posting.
Spurring me on
"Spurring me on" - the very words seem to conjure up
Action, encouragement, confidence
No-one knows how their kindness holds you up
No-one knows how by a few words here and there
What a difference they can make
Words that are commonplace to the giver
But oh how they spur you on!
