Comment from Carolyn 'Deaton' Stephens

Excellent

Wonderful poem, it takes me from the yearning, to the frustration of age, to the attaining of love and to the blessings of children. And then, a smile of acceptance. Great post Norm, Carolyn

The picture gives the poem density. Glad you're adding the art. You know the worst pain a person can have is mental pain and I speak from experience. Children are our hope. That's the nice thing about life. Carry on my friend. Good work.

I do get tired of listing these kind of poems. I like the poems written later on in my writing.

Then why list them?

Hi,
This is excellent free verse with good flow and rhyme, good unconventional structure with white space. It has excellent figurative language with which it creates good images. The picture is beautiful. I enjoyed reading this poem.

To inhale hope just is possible by faith, otherwise a deep pain always governs the mind, I enjoyed reading this nicely written piece,
