The Visiting Hours Comments

excellent poem my friend...I loved the essence of this piece..

Sean, Mary is absolutely right, this is a wonderful and powerful poem. The ending is so poignant....

What a wonderful poem! ! I am always suprised and saddened to learn of an elderly person dying alone as they do. Your last paragraph reminds me of how cruel it seems that as somebody is dying.........the world does not stop to notice. Sincerely, Mary

this is so powerfull, you have a great talent Seán

I like this poem very much Seán. It is sad but it is based on reality, a lot of old people die alone.. As for the last paragraph, I just loved it. Well done my friend! HBH
