Isn't it funny? Just a simple dream kept our subject going through the hardships and the turmoil, and yet that same dream repeated as a refrain, keeps all of us going, but, what a lovely story, but she had children and grandchildren, a precious commodity, beautifully written my friend, so touching, blessings Roy

Thank you for sharing this story/poem contest entry. I enjoyed reading. This is an excellent poem. I'm curious if it's not an original post if it can be entered in a contest. I honestly don't know. You might want to check that out.

    Thanks so much--it's never been posted on FanStory and the original has been edited to make corrections and changes, as I do with all my old poems, if I find tweaks that I think will make them better. I appreciate your thoughts.

An excellent entry for the Share a Story in a Poem contest. What a beautiful flow to this poem and the story was told so well in verse. It is a common story of dreams that get crushed as we get older and as life forces a different reality upon us. Wish I had a six.

I thought that was very well done. Somehow you succeeded in writing the whole story without my picking rhyming words that were noticeable. Nothing seemed forced or contrived. Esther

I loved the repeated line as this woman suffered some grief in life and threatened to leave for good. Life is short and we only get one shot at it, so we had better live it well, a skilful post, love Dolly x x x

This is a great story. I like the way it flows and tells the story throughout. The picture adds a nice touch and gives a the reader a nice visual.

Great job and good luck in the contest.

This poem, Ain't Never Comin' Back, presented with five octaves, follows the yearning heart through the future plans which, like many, have to deal with the eternity of the present. Great verse.
