Brooke Noble October 16, 2018 at 10:10 PM indeed with the love of self you have enough to share, i can relate and understand this piece. Nicely written and resonates in my spirit as truth. I like it, a lot. Caren Krutsinger October 16, 2018 at 10:33 PM Thank you Brooke. The truth is all I do. Sometimes a silly truth, but this time, it was heartfelt.

Darlene De Beaulieu October 12, 2018 at 2:34 PM Hello Caren, your poem speaks the truth. It will be my fave. Have a nice day my friend. Caren Krutsinger October 12, 2018 at 2:55 PM Thank you Darlene. I appreciate your kind thoughts. Best wishes for a terrific weekend for you my friend.

M. L. Kiser October 12, 2018 at 10:44 AM This is so true; if you don't or can't love yourself then, you can't expect anyone else to; still many do. There's a huge difference between ego and loving self. Well penned, my fine-penning friend. Caren Krutsinger October 12, 2018 at 2:56 PM Thank you M.L. I have learned to tamp down my ego completely, pretending I do not have one, as it never serves me well.

Rhona Mcferran October 12, 2018 at 10:27 AM Lovely poem, my friend... the part "Nourishes our/ Humanly/ Angels" reminds me of the phrase "the angel of our better nature", and I dearly love the idea of this! Caren Krutsinger October 23, 2018 at 9:49 AM Thank you Rhona. You know I depend on angels - especially earth angels.
