Poem of the Week_ April 16 - 22, 2023

Published in PoetrySoup's 2023 Anthology, Reflections on the Important Things

"I have lived thousands, thousands and thousands of days; I have loved a hundred loves or more; I have written thousands and thousands of words; And this has been enough. " Quote by _ Constance Because I live- I have been able to help my parents who loved me well in their last days I have been that arm that cradled their heads that hand that held theirs in a final breath Because I live- God has blessed me given me this gift of words and I am ever grateful to be able to pen my pain and if my sorrow can help a single person my purpose is done Because I live- I have God and Jesus in my life and they are my path they have filled me with kindness compassion and giving and their heavenly light shines from me Because I Live- and did not die many times along my journey I have been able to touch many a life with my words, poetry and pen with inspiration and who can ask for more Because I live- I met true love the most amazing man beautiful in face, heart, soul, and mind and though his destiny was short and his home is a heavenly one I will love him forever

A beautiful quote, Constance, you are a Queen in your castle, and from the castle you've become most intriguing, living vicariously through books, art, poets, then writing for the universe. Congratulations on POTW! Glad to see you have somebody you love., your King.
