I do love this poem, and the thoughts that accompany it; added to my favorites indeed. A great hope, so well stated. Bravo Gordon! Write more.
A lovely poem RG, we are all on a long road, often very foggy too, but hopefully to come out of the fog and arrive at our final destination. Excellent write.
A great poem, one day we will all find our way home. A great write. May I invite you to read my poem called, For Bartley Gorman King Of The Gypsies.
Great use of Robert Frost' concept of the Road Less Taken. Enjoyable twist to that theme. Read mine - Brush Strokes - Adeline
