Great poem, love it! So compassionate and caring, understanding the hurt, abandonment, loneliness, sorrow, etc. and able to portray it so beautifully. So humbled by your understanding of life's harshness. Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn
A poem so consoling..... Will serve as a balm to everybody who has had some hurt in childhood, teenage or adulthood through failure, rejection, misunderstanding, loneliness or separation! ! Here there is comfort for all who stand at the cross roads of life or are weighed down by the heavy yoke of life! If your heart was ripped apart, most Unkindly, by the rejection of your love, Oh isn't that just a matter of the past? You have learned to move on, so well! Love this thought! !
I love this poem, it speaks to me and what you have conveyed is so very true. Wisdom of life indeed!
