Today, I persuaded my daughter, *Melinda Penn*, to write the offering on helping. Her blog is here. She'd love a visit if you feel so moved!
No reply was in order
as dusk slid over to dawn
And eventually the world spun again
and we always say nothing
We supposedly follow the answers
in a kind, respectful way
Taking and letting out
voices in the rain; few say:
Thank you. . .

- From Haiti: Samaritan's Purse International Relief. Maybe, we don't hear the thank you.
March 13th is “Good Samaritan Day.” Reflect on helping.

I may not have understood the “new nominee” part but you fit just the same.
I NOMINATE YOU FOR
The Versatile Blogger Award
I am honored but I feel you are more deserving than I based on the way you paint
with words and write with hues of color.
