Comment from Carolyn 'Deaton' Stephens

Excellent

And the reality says I am the taker, not the giver.
Mother was almost 98 when she passed away. If she read that, she would say, "Well Norm, if you know that about your self, then pull up your bootstraps and change it, be the giver, not the taker." Unless you are giving in the sense that 'it is more blessed to give, than to receive.' then, hey, we must be a little of both. This was very good my friend. Carolyn

Most of the poems you have read were from years ago when I suffered from deep depression. I just have a few more then I will make a book for myself.

Excellent

some powerful thoughts penned before us
especially

"and I miss what was the spark in my life"

that line alone is a mouthful and such a story in itself

the format made it all the more powerful

well done and displayed
thank you for sharing
