The title sums up the feelings conveyed in this poem very well, Colin. We like to believe the good and true of heart will receive their just rewards. The two poems you posted today that I've read are sad and bitter. I can only hope there are better days ahead. This is an excellent, heartfelt poem. Love, Carolyn
