Sad poem, Alexis. Partings are never sweet sorrows I'm afraid. Love the one line short punch of this poem. Love always.

'called' - I feel I have become your poem-parent and you my sweetly receptive yearling! What a great line, Alexis - such effective emotion succinctly delivered. Poetry hugs ... Mama CayCay (I say the parent/child thing with no idea of your age - just a thought, just now)
