I wish I could write this on a little piece of paper and tape it to the wall next to my computer. It is darling and writing does free your heart, especially true for me. I love your poem.

A life without poetry might be like a life without art or music, because all of these come from the heart. An awesome poem, Jo. :)

There are some who make fun of Poetry, but when a special occasion arises there will usually be a special poem read to commemorate the occasion. I so agree. Poets express the thoughts and feelings some may not be able to articulate. A lovely poem Jo. Blessings xxoo
