Hey, Valsa! I logged onto PH, which I rarely do lately, thinking I would see what you’ve been up to. And here you are with a featured poem! On this one, may it not be so with us. My wife and I enjoy our younger son’s family—our granddaughter being a big part of our lives. Hoping this finds you very well, Glen

A sad write of loneliness despite having loved ones? ....well penned.
