Very perceptive, Maureen. Eloquently and elegantly stated. Worth embroidering and framing.

Who do I ask to get answers, truthful ones. The poem rattles my complacency. Seems that is a good thing.

Hmmm. Two lines that make me think. There are a few questions I'm afraid to hear the answer to so I'm ok in the dark. This is a great piece Maureen.
