An excellent poem that speaks with such
a depth of devotion from one who waits
for a loved one to awaken... this is
so moving with its lovely artwork
Well done Carol...

You have projected so well in such a concise format the deepest love. I saw that as my Dad held my Mother. The image does not sadden me; it is a reflection of their entire marriage. Mary

    Mary When I wrote this I thought of my elderly parents who have been married 62 years and never apart. I can't imagine how one will continue to live without the other. Carol

This makes me cry. It's hard to type when you're crying. It's just too sad for me. You really know how to break a person's heart. Be proud that your work moves and touches people. Very well written. Excellent. Good luck in the contest.

    Delora I wrote this with my 89 yr old parents in mind. They have been married 62 years and never apart. I can't begin to imagine how one will live without the other. Thanks for the awesome review. Connecting with others through my writing makes my heart soar. Thanks again. Carol

This is a beautiful poem. It graphically pictures the poignancy of the last days of half of an old couple. The self-sacrificing desire comes across as quite valid. Best regards, Jeanie Mercer

This work has reached the exceptional level

The silver lining here is she is not alone. She has a love so great that he is willing to go in her place. My biggest fear is not dying but doing it alone. Terrific write. joan marie

    Joan Marie How simple wonderful that you appreciated my poem. I wrote it while thinking about my parents. They are both 89, married 62 years and never apart. I fear how one will react when the other is no longer here. Thanks for the stars. That was so kind of you. Hope you are feeling fine again. Carol

This reminds me of a Paul Overstreet song called "She Supports Her Man." If you ever get a chance You Tube it. It's awesome, just like your poem. Course Paul didn't write it in 15 words but then if he had, it wouldn't be long enough to be a song.

Great work and good luck in the contest!

This poem is powerful and touching with a very strong message. You did a great job getting so much emotion across in only fifteen words. A great entry.

What's really sad, is that when they are that connected, the guy doesn't last that much longer. I enjoyed this poem it struck a chord deep within. Well done.

    Fictionwriter I wrote this while I was thinking of my parents. They are 89, married 62 years and never apart. I can't imagine how one will ever survive without the other. Thanks again Carol
