I love the devotion that these words so elquently describe, while leaving the reader with a sense of momentary emptiness. Written as only a master of his craft can pen. Beautiful work as always Brian. Very happy to be back online and reading your inspirational words again. My best, Charlie

this reminds me of my dog. before we had him put to sleep in 1997 i cut off some of his hair and put it in a bag. I know much different, but not much. a great poem and enjoyed it. thank you for reading my a lonely leaf and for your comment.

Beautiful poem, yet sad and melancholy. You have a wealth of knowledge with each poem you write..Carrie

I keep a lock of all my children's hair, those strands hold our essence, and there in love stays long after souls depart. Lovely sentiment, love Kristin
