Dear Lin, You encourage me (all of us, really) that just putting our truth to paper is something fierce and beautiful. These few lines hold a whole lifetime’s worth of feeling, quiet, sincere, and real. Don’t stop writing yourself in for your words are both a reflection and a gift, dear Lin. Blessings, Daniel

I have the feeling you were much more than lines of love and life, Dear friend. Nicely written :) Charlie

Lin, I like this poem. It's great. Hands down, a better inscription than I see in the ETSY cards. Sadly, though, I can see someone stealing your poem.

Thanks very much, Connie. That’s quite a compliment. I hope your mention of someone stealing my lines is not something you’ve actually witnessed. Sucks if so, but Que sera

It's so true, I feel the same way, have since adolescence when I started writing which is why I've told my Tim and Kyle that when I pass, they have full permission to trash all the paper all over the place holding poetry; 'don't feel guilty, like I did about my Dad's trophies, plaques, etc. Wonderful pen. I've sent you a soup mail. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Hi Brenda. It’s always great to see you here but it’s spiraling downhill. Hugs, sweet friend.
