A touching write, Deborah. I'm so sorry. Birthdays and anniversaries are the most difficult days. God bless you, Rhonda

That's a truly magnificent write! I love the form and how it was said, unfortunately, it's a sad poem but told very well! I could tell you were in such pain while you were writing this write, anybody would be! I really enjoyed this poem that I have read late this evening! I hope things are OK! Great Work!!
