CayCay Godwin August 16, 2026 at 6:45 AM Such encouraging and genuine words. If people pondered such all day rather than greed, power, conspiracies, etc. imagine what we could manifest. I have a 'twin' to this I think you'd like, 'Someone to Hold' dtd 1-16-26. Received your words about AI poem. I reposted it. It's on my first page. Bear in mind that the 'list' if you will could have gone on and on. I embrace your poem. CayCay Dorothy Gibbons August 17, 2026 at 3:59 PM Thank you dear Cay Cay for your inspirational comment. I appreciate you taking the time to read and comment hugs my friend ❤️‍🩹🌹
