Thank you Lainie you are the main reason I am here today.

Tuyet Anh Tran June 10, 2025 at 12:21 AM The repetition of her name through the acrostic structure emphasizes Elaine’s importance. I love this one!

Lee Ramage July 28, 2012 at 8:25 PM Hi Carol, THis is a beautiful poem and so true. I agree. So kind of you to write about Elaine. I see her as she lives down the road. We use to walk each day until my arthritis made it too difficult for me to keep up with her!! Take care. Thank you for this poem. Lee
