This is so very tender and lovely. And I imagine somewhat difficult--though not hard--to write.

I can feel the pain of loss within these lines..I hope that soon it will only be good memory with only a rare feeling of the pain from her death..Thanks for the Christmas greeting..I hope that your Christmas day was all that you had hoped it would be..Sara

awesome poetical bio. Mine was so much like a real bio it did not read very poetic for that one contest. (wish I had not followed the Soup definition of bio poem,) THIS is the way to do it!!!

I enjoyed your poem very much. We all have our boxes don't we? Your line "I allow myself to make deliveries" is very good.
