Maureen, It's for real and as sure as the first evening star, you can't touch it, or buy it, or wrap it up tight, but it's there just the same, making things turn out right. -The Rescuers

I like that! I had to google The Rescuers, apparently there is a hole in my childhood. Warmest holiday wishes Richard. xomo!

This is eerily GREAT. A FAVE for me. I can't put my finger on what great poet this reminds me of... Driving me crazy... Maybe it's Maureen McGreavy! Thanks, Gershon

WoW!Maureen, All though it's short, your poem is well-written a deep. It like food for thought; you give your reader a lot to” chew up” and digest. Well done. Have a wonderful day:-) Alexis

In you flair for brevity--there's a nugget of intelligence, always, Maureen--but we do not see the world in words .....
