What poem is this? It's fantastic and I love the format! I did have one suggestion, however: You started out with a lovely meter and rhythm, but you sort of lost it on the fourth-ish line. Otherwise, your poem is amazing!

It's amazing how those feisty people who never seem to slow down just keep on ticking along while the rest of struggle to get up and down. I guess, what keeps them going to strong is keeping going. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

Ha, that what Mom always says; that she keeps going because she keeps going! However, she doesn't write many poems. LOL
Comment from LisaMay
The energy of some mothers - such as yours - is amazing. What they do for their families shows true devotion. Your series of poems has highlighted what wonderful family memories that house holds.

Dear LisaMay, I so appreciate your following along this April journey with me! It was therapeutic for me to record my memories before our family home changes ownership in just a few days. Mom came last week to collect my key. Sad. But, life goes on!

There'll be other keys and other changes. I can well imagine how therapeutic writing about it has been... sort of closure.

Wow! That is an amazing memory to have of the day before your wedding. You have done a good job in immortalizing it in poetry. Very original topic., I hope you Mom likes it!

Oh, dear Dolly, it is always wonderful to hear from you. Your story reminds me of something we would see on Cinderella, making a ball gown for your sister. That is a wonderful story! Thank you for reading and sharing!

Thank you for you reply, my sister was thrilled at the time and I lent her my necklace to complete the outfit, she looked amazing, that was back in the 1980s, love Dolly x
