First you and hubby, then 6 children, then their husbands and wives and their children, then the parents of the daughter and sons in laws, and maybe they all have Godparents, Gosh my dear poetry sister, that is quite a family. You are blessed my friend. Where better than to be on the South Coast of Massachusetts, and furthermore to be a proud lifelong resident - I love this poem, into my faves for certain! Hugs, love and blessings. May your New Year be peaceful happy, jolly and safe, Jennifer.

I am charmed to know you. Actually each of us is a daydreamer more or less. 'seeing children dreams to come true' I like most this sentence ' A mother feels always more happy seeing success of children than her own achievement.

And I am charmed to know you, Anisha. You are so right that, as poets, we are all daydreamers. I'm so pleased to know that you enjoyed the spirit of my poem. Thank you for sharing your heart through the beauty of your comments. Warmest wishes always, dear poetess.. ~Susan

Wonderful getting to know you a little more through this poem, Susan. When I was young, I would have called myself Daydreamer too! (love those things you want to see come true)

Thank you, Andrea, for your wonderful comments. They are such a pleasure to receive. Maybe you still are a daydreamer.. you are an imaginative poetess after all :) Wouldn't it be so lovely if/when we could see those things come true..? The daydreamer me likes to believe it can happen. Warmest wishes always, my friend.. ~Susan

I do not think anybody can do it any better than this! Qualifications that a successful lady has are many and you have compiled them well in your life and have poured it into this poem! All the best in the contest! I dare not apply!

Susan Ashley
Date: 4/3/2020 7:29:00 PM

My heart is warmed by your rich, kind comments, Krish. I so appreciate your lovely visit and the beauty with which you express yourself. I did not write this poem for the contest, rather, I wrote it a while ago just as a way for other poets to know more about me. I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it! Please do apply, and write your bio poem for the contest, I would love to read it. Thank you again, dear poet, for your gracious visit. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan

I feel like I know you much better Susan! What a full life you have! I nominate "The Beauty of Empathy" to be your autobiography title, it has such a lovely, heartwarming ring to it. Enjoyed the read, thanks for sharing, glad you're back! Hugs/John

Thank you, John, your wonderful presence is always inspiring and so deeply appreciated. Yes, I have a pretty full and busy life with my lovely family so when I'm not around on PS commenting, replying or posting, they're usually the reason why.. lol! But I wouldn't have it any other way, I am truly blessed. I will have to consider your nomination, my friend, it would make for a lovely title, indeed! Warmest wishes always, dear poet.. ~Susan

My lovely sissy! I have missed you so much! Alas, life outside the tree house is rough stuff. I can't believe you're ramblin around in that big ole house all alone... no Puff Puff?! No bro bro?! Jeez! That just makes me so sad.. Maybe the Unicorns should form a search party.. but knowing them, they'd probably just 'party!' Lol! I love and adore you too, dear Dragon Fire!

Thank you, Kim, for your return visit and for sharing your appreciative thoughts with me.

Nice to learn about you. From your bio you seem like an interesting person. My dad's family is from the East coast too, some family members from Boston. I love the accent.

Susan Ashley
Date: 1/7/2020 7:27:00 PM

Thank you, Juliet, for you kindhearted comments. It’s so nice that you have family from Boston. Years ago, when I was in Las Vegas for a business trip, everyone from the west coast wanted to hear me speak - not because I had anything important to say but rather to hear my Boston accent.. lol! Your visit is so appreciated. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Thank you, FJ, for your lovely and treasured comments. The appreciation I feel upon reading your words is so very heartwarming. I hope to be back soon, to some degree at least, as life's unexpected curve balls have kept me out of the wonderful PS loop for the last few months. Your presence here inspires me greatly, FJ. Warmest wishes always and happy New Year to you and yours.. ~Susan
