A very nice take from a different persons point of view. I really like your originality.

i love it...poetry is joy and sadness and more joy. Thank you.

I am with Kim - I rarely have the patience for long winded stories. This one captured me though, from top to bottom. This is a beautiful and quite intimate poem. Lovely in deed.

When I first looked at this poem, I thought it was too long and wouldn't bother to read it, but am glad I did. Well worth the time, and a wonderful message. It's going onto my favorite poem list.

I liked the conversational, reflective tone of this poem - homey (homely) , yet thoughtful.
