Lin, your poetry should be around for a while, so at least that will allow some of us to see what thoughts inspired you over time and what you were thinking. We are so small in the grand scheme of things. It makes me think we should really enjoy every day. Just thinking about your poem and what it means makes my heart smile. Thanks!!

I'm pleased that you enjoy reading me, Duke. I'm always appreciative of poets who journey back in time to read my poetry. Gratitude overflows.

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

Amazing isn't it that your combination of "fierce and beautiful" make perfect sense to me. Thank you, Daniel for always putting just the right perspective on so many things.

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.
