A "Highly" Debated Issue


From glaucoma to chemotherapy
Medical marijuana has its place
But you won’t find any prescribed
In the conservative Sunshine State

Chris couldn’t eat while under treatment
Watched him lose one-hundred pounds
He had no access to an appetite stimulant
His weight was 85 when laid in the ground

Hefty Jen had lived a life of kindness
Taught spiritually uplifting courses
She suffered

 By candlelight, I write a letter to my sweetheart
 Without him, I feel powerless

Premium MemberFearlessness Revealed By Carolyn Devonshire

"Nothing to Fear" 

"We never know when death will come, 
so I cast my worries aside. 
When I first heard the news, 
my heart went numb, 
and then the diagnosis I denied. 

Finally acceptance came as I cried. 
Sands are pouring through the hourglass, 
but faith now saves me from fear. 
The beauty of heaven

Why I Loved Carolyn Devonshire's Poem: See Me Now

See Me Now by Carolyn Devonshire

See me while my eyes are open
don’t delay until they close
sealing away my soul’s window

look within, see the love and joy I hold
capture this moment
remember me this way

when the light leads your eyes to heaven
think of me, smile sometimes
let laughter be my legacy

I cannot live today if you fear tomorrow

A wonderful poet
You loved the ocean
You knew how to show it
Wrote with emotion

Remembered, you will be
Though now, we must part
Loved for eternity

You have been a good friend
Generous and kind
These memories won't end
For you're a gem find

Carolyn Devonshire - a Tribute

A rare priceless pearl emerged, 
from an exotic shell of the deep blue sea;
Her unique sparkle did brighten and illuminate
every soul that held her with love.

Her dauntless spirit knew the warmth
of feeling the soul of the ocean, so close, 
and listening to its soft rumble - a lull.

Of rare breed, this precious pearl yearned
to go

Carolyn Devonshire - An Inspiration

Many blogs
many poems in her tribute
comments like I am devastated, 
will miss her greatly,
was more than a loss for me, 
umpteen comments on her blogs and poems

Many are born and die. 
Nobody bothers. 
Many poets join Soup and leave
No one talks about them or ask about their well-being. 
But some are remembered till our last
