In My Own Words Comments

Awesome poem Lori. Write about this subject also, sometimes especially as I grow older. Husband has early onset dementia and I often write poetry wondering if he'll remember me in the future. It's a sad and disheartening subject, but it's a part of life nonetheless. Love your poetry, thank you for sharing. Will read more of your poetry as time permits if that's okay with you. RoseAnn

I remember reading this Lori, and gave you a comment. Yes I loved this one, a beautiful write. I always find reading or writing about this subject can be very saddening and can be quite eerie. thanks for reading mine. I appreciate your finding the time. Bless you. Nice to have our name on the poem list again. Love Ernestine XXX

A scary poem for all those, like us, who fear losing the power of words. Very poignant and very close to home.

oh my.. Lori this is such a touching poem.. I hope that neither of us reach the point were words will mean the world to us.. stunning work! HBH

Oh Lori what a sad thought, I hope this never happens to you or me! You've told it so well in this one, and it really makes one think, even if we don't want to. Very worth reading. Love Ernestine XXX
