Pearlescent Poems # 50: Please Don't Quit @KarenMcKersie! WHY I STEEM WITH LOVE (Original Poem)

---

---

What I've learned so far is that we can't stop someone from leaving
Whether that is a loved one, a close friend, a family member, or someone new you've been meeting
Steemit has been and still is a great platform for many of us and I'm grateful
I'm also one not to riot or rage in a debate and be hateful

Life is so fleeting and many of you have made a positive impact on my life
I am appreciative for all my followers, and create with a love shared with my children and wife
When I see someone hurting, if I can help, then I shall
@karenmckersie to me, is one kindhearted gal

I'm not here to pick sides, but I hope this poem is @smooth
Words are very powerful and my intentions are just to soothe
There are many people I think of when I evaluate the pricelessness of this platform
I've made many friends here, and have been inspired to transform

It truly is a beautiful thing to give back to others in need
Only together can we grow immensely, and answer each others pleads
The community here is worth staying for, and I will be a pillar of hope
Sometimes we need a helping hand, I present mine both to help you cope

PS: So many of you generously have gifted to @karenmckersie during this delicate situation. I believe @hanshotfirst also donated 20.00 Steem, @resteemer 1 Steem, and @donkeypong before me donated 50.00 Steem, and it truly is a beautiful thing to see us all coming together in the aid of a particularly sweet soul such as @karenmckersie, and she often supported me with lovely comments and such. I don't need to speak on the the context of the situation, but I'm just grateful and appreciative of YOU ALL. God bless

I'll still be continuing accepting donations until I can reach my goal to fly out to america with my children and wife to visit my family as it is very urgent indeed.

I've raised $811 and .73 cents of Steemit Currency in total from both My Posts and Donations from Steemit Community Members this 2017 forward and $00.00 in US Dollar Donations so far towards my goal of $ 6,000.00 (Six Thousand) US Dollars and will keep everyone updated with every new future post that I submit.
This total amount will not only include donations I've received to the Paypal account I've provided: [email protected], but it will also include the Steemit Currency that I accrue/receive from all of my personal posts starting the 1st of January of 2017 forward calculated after a 48 hour time frame is finished for the payout cycle of each post to avoid miscalculating the fluctuating price of Steemit Currency.
