red-faced
he fears for their future
flushed
she is an optimist

Pessimistically I happily laughed Maureen. It's nice for me to have some time to discover your other wonderful poems. Thank you.

Powerful! Thanks for sharing. Have been there. I look forward to asking my son if he found what he went in search of so many years ago. We are blessed with the spirit he left us. Please know that I read this pen several times. Awesome! Peace and Love, Millard Lowe.

Suicide, such a hard topic. If one has experienced the ideation they will understand. Great strength you have Maureen to bring it into the light. Peace, Love and Hugs_Vickie.

Is there a lighter side? Always important that at least one person remains optimistic.....
