I, too, found this a strong and incredibly moving poem, and can only reiterate what others have said. I particularly liked the description of your mother's face. Love, Fran xx

Vincent, I cannot tell you how much I am touched by this poem...how visual it is to me..To be able to see the death in your mother's face. I remember exactly where I was the day I discovered real death, and it has been 53 years since, and I have never forgotten how I felt. Well done, my heart is deeply touched.

Vincent, this is a wonderful telling of an impressionable time we all face(d) at one time. The realisation of death's true impact on the survivors is only when it hits this close to home. The childish simplicity of a naive but so kind act, is a mark of true empathy and the beginning of a healing process. What else can I say, I loved this tale.10 Danny
