What a moving poem Mary - so well crafted. It gets a 10 but if there was a 11 or a twelve out of 10 you get that too. Thanks for sharing Uday Balakrishnan

Next time I'm about to let difficulties with a loved one get out of hand I'll remember the sentiment driving this beautifully tailored and emotive poem. Thank you.

Okay, Mary. Now you MUST write something lighter, although I do like your 'dark' ones. Best H

May God and the mercy of the world treat us all kindly.

That's what I'm praying for too Mary. A real heart searching poem, but beautifully written once again. Love Ernestine XXX A 10 from me.

May your days always be complete Mary. Rusty

This is lovely Mary, fingers crossed for many more years, Moyaxx

Please let it, indeed. Good thoughtful poem about fears that lurk at the back of all our minds

A beautifully touching poem Mary, as you may know, I lost my love in this way. Didn't make the hospital though. Your poem does say a lot about what is truly important in life, ie relationships. I wish yours to go on for at least 50 years and that is not impossible either. Great work as always Mary, 10 from seeing things clearly and looking forward to a brighter future, Tai

So true, Mary. Life is precious, and love is measured in so many little things that mean so much. Many hugs, CJ

Very true, Mary, and heartfelt. Good poem Raynette
