Thank you lovely! It is meant for whom ever finds themselves through someone else when they are no longer around. Sinéad inspired ;), xomo

Thank you Ilene. When you don’t know how much someone touched you, made you, until they are gone. xomo

So emotive in so few words, you truly have the gift of being succinct (which is meant as a compliment!)

Makes me think about what they used to say, "Where were you when you heard Kennedy was killed?" I know that's not relevant anymore, but the sentiment seems to carry over in this poem. Very heartfelt Maureen. Hugs always

How not relative? Not for me maybe, but I’m not that old. ;),
