Very nice metaphor. I really like it Gershon. We named my daughter Hope, because during delivery we almost lost her. Hope and prayers were all we had, she was finally born Hope Kingston for all the hope it took to get her here. She came out of her cocoon, thanks to the big guy up above. I'm glad I found your poem.

Wow. Thanks for letting me know, Marikate. Never imagined that these two lines could ge so personal when I submitted them. Life is full of surprises, and I'm sure glad that Hope Kingston has been one of the good ones! Hugs, Gershon

Such a shame! Hugs, blessings Gershon. Well if Mohamed won't come to the mountain, guess the mountain has to come to Mohamed - missed your wise comments. Jennifer.
