Thank you, Debbie!
Though this is an award for a poem I wish
I'd never had reason to write.

"Hi dear Ruth!
I have looked at your poems on Conny's and Boel's homepage.
I must say you are a very talented writer.
They are just so nice.
The words just float and you have captured that certain
feeling that only true love can bring...Very nice indeed!
I would like you to have the two of my most precious awards,
The award of artistic perfection and My golden poetry award.
I hope you will accept them cause they truly comes straight from my heart.
You should be very proud of yourself cause not many people
have the way with their words as you do :)
Hugs from me,
Eva-Lena aka Lady Eve"

"This is one talented writer.
She is a member of Women With A Unique Soul, and she is such a woman.
I read the poem,
"I am That Mother and Child,"
and it truly touched my heart in a major way.
It is one in which I can relate to
and it speaks loudly on the pain many children and mothers
feel who live in violent or abusive surroundings.
I encourage you to click on the link to this poem above and
read this special writing of this talented writer.
I usually place the poem itself here, but the display of this poem
adds to the magnificence and feeling it displays.
Her loving and caring heart is reflected in her
writings, quilts, and throughout her website.
Click on the link to her website to see all her creative writing
and experience her compassion as it
jumps of the pages of her beautiful site.
Congratulation Ruthi!!!!!!
No one deserves this honor more.
You have touched me greatly with this poem."
Becky
