May we all be glad that your talent is not trapped, as it continually flows freely through the door left ajar. As always – wonderful in every way!

This is a deeply personal poem, with a theme that all of us near retirement must relate to with mixed feelings. Your poetry has bright eyes Linda. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Linda, I know that feeling oh so very well. At some point we have to take a chance. However, most of us are too afraid to leave the safety of which we have been accustomed to. Great insight written here. Top marks and thank you for sharing it my friend. Hugs David
