Herbert this is beautiful! The feel behind it is so genuine and heartfelt...you almost made me cry as I read it. Absolutely wonderful!

I love your poems about your mother.........I agree, this is absolutely one of your best Herbert. Such tenderness shows through when you mention her....I love it. Sincerely, Mary
This is one of your best efforts. A gentle, moving poem, and the rhymes work. They don't come across as forced or intrusive. Well done.
