Tommy

Today is a blank sheet
Oh! What desires I need to meet
Must some go lacking 
Most important are the people
You being one that needs my attention

Enjoyed this first poem of yours, Sara! The angst of desires agains the work and person that must be attended to.

Thought I'd go back and read your very first poem. I liked it. Short and to the point. There are many things that need to be done every day but if there are loved one that need our attention then most things can be set aside. To give of ourselves to another is truly God's work. Very nice.... Robert.

I wanted to read the first poem that you posted on the soup and I see you have been at this for some time. You have written a lot of poems. That is a great achievement. Very nice acrostic. What inspired this I wonder.
