Dear Full Stop,

Thank you for defining things.  Even though sometimes I find you a little abrupt, you do have your place.  

I notice you're one of the more flexible punctuation marks.  You're able to jump on the end of a short sharp sentence.  You are, however, equally able to wait until the end of a longer, more meandering sentence, one where your friends, the comma and the bracket (or parenthesis), have had their turn first.  In this way, you are quite generous, patient even. 

You are ambitious, probably the most successful of all the dots I know.  Yet, you are introverted and peaceful, unlike your cousin, the exclamation mark.  (Gee he's excitable!)

I quite like using three of you in a row...you leave things open to interpretation...if you know what I mean...

You are practical and purposeful and you make things neat.  You are so much more than just a dot.  You complete me (or at least my sentences).

Thank you.
