Unusual poem for you Andrew, lovely storyline and very well written. I was wanting to rhyme at the end of each verse, but eventually got used to the format. Nice one. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX

Such a bitter-sweet tale, Andrew - and told with great musicality and graceful words. The story rollicks along, with the irresistible beat of the ballad (though you have chosen to divide it into eight line stanzas) . I particularly liked your reference to the son talking to his mother's empty chair. Jerry tells me that in freemasonry there is a very moving ceremony called the 'vacant chair'. Great write. Great writer. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
