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
Moving life story, Andrew...sweet flowing narration...good work...thanks...10
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) .

Great writer. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
A poignant story. It is always reassuring to know that it gets better farther on.10, for you. Warm regards, Sandra
