Notes: I have been blessed to have someone far more talented than I, assist me, in learning, and assist me in improving my writing. It’s a joy to learn, and I have learned not only by their kind help, but by reading their poetry as well. It may seem a small deed or detail; however for me, in my passion of writing, this is truly a tremendous gift. It is not e an easy task to edit and help, because you have to wear the cloth of the person you are helping, and this is a gift. Poetry is such a personal form of expression, and I know is not easy to suggest change and yet not bruise an ego.
I am immensely thankful and I truly hope that I have made someone smile!
About this poem: I do not consider this a great write. So I will explain something I have expressed to many fellow poets. A poem from the heart, a poem filled with compassion and empathy and beauty need not be the perfect poem. One who is true to form and rules may write the perfectly constructed poem, and leave people cold and un-interested.
A poem may also be lacking without context, as indeed this one may be, I hope however I have provided that context by the video. That being true, I am ever grateful that at least I had help to make it presentable!
