Brilliant piece! Hugs, Dee

Bridging the differences, closing the gaps between lovers, old or new, but especially old is a problematic business. Maybe better to work with acceptance of them as the final stanza implies in this terrific piece of quality poetry. Fluid, rhythmic and plaintive. Excellent Linda. jim xxx

great flow great poem great ending I truly enjoyed it

Linda, this is very good, how much we want to influence but then again we want to feel it was the other persons aim, Yes, Very good and nicely written, Thank -you.

A really nice poem. simple words with great feelings. love the first para.. good work!

I just loved your poem so very much. I specially love this 'IF' subject... just posted some poems today with this big IF. I just loved the begining stanza of this poem.... Perhaps you'd take a second chance..... loved this line!

To accept the perfection of the way things are; to feel contented with yourself as you are, warts and all - that is the message of this profound piece, written simply and sweetly. Your IF is beautiful, Linda. love, Allie xxxx

Excellent finish to an excellent poem.

Linda, this is so easy to read and written so lovely. Beautiful. I loved it. Don't change the title it fits this piece like a glove. I've given it full marks. Your opening two line captured me straight away on this. David
