You write so well about death and loss and the dying, with such uncluttered empathy.
this is nicely written..hope this is not written in teary eyes and trembling fingers..i like the flow tho it shows sadness..time to say goodbye...the hardest words to express..naizz
This poem is poignant, but unlike with other poets who try to convey suffering, I do not suffer for this art do to sentimentality. Enjoyable.
This was a special piece of writing because it took the reader along with the writer. That is hard to do. I must pay tribute to it by giving it a good score. GW62

Your writing reminds me of Lee Crowells style.
