This is such an emotional, wonderfully written poem. I love the images it created in my mind and how real the emotions felt. All in all, I really enjoyed reading this poem.

This is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL in every way! EXQUISITE! Oh, how I wish I could've met your wife, Estella. She was one very fortunate lady, and she also was an amazing woman! This is so romantic and well written. Your strong love comes through in your words. I've read it several times and have to say...."I'm envious!" To have a love like this is priceless. I know you miss her terribly, but you had (and still have) a bond that others can only dream about. Yes, SOMEDAY, you will hold her once more in your arms, but you forever have her to hold in your heart! Your notes were also very emotional and well written. What you share is deep and true. I feel so very fortunate to be co-authoring books with you. God Bless You, Bill Bishop! I hold you in my heart, as well! I wish you good health and happiness, always and forever.
Respectfully with Admiration and Truckloads of Love,
Cathy

    A "SALUTE," Cathy! Quite an "ASTONISHING REVIEW," Co-author. As I read along...a tear came to mind; yet, Grandpa was awake and watching me, so I couldn't cry. Why? Cause I had no barn to hide behind. Thanks for the "EXCEPTIONAL" review, kind words, and taking the time to read my work. It is an honor having an "AWESOME" writer such as yourself to express admiration for my work, and to choose me for your co-author. A 2nd "SALUTE!" As always, I wish you good health and happiness..."FOREVER!" Respectfully with Admiration and wagon loads of Love, Bill

This is the kind of poem that causes uncontrollable heart fluttering. I especially loved what you said here; " I would ask a cartographer to draw a map to keep in my lap so I
could find my way to you. So one day when you hear the wind say,
'I'm waiting,' you will spread your wings in the early spring, then
join me". Beautifully written, keep it up.

Hello Commando.
This is a beautiful tribute to your wife. I admire the kind of love you speak of in this poem. The descriptions and yearnings I read in the poem are so vivid and meaningful. Having strong feelings is one thing we all can identify with. Being able to express them as you have here is so much more. This is exceptional. I wish you the best. Robert

I really like this part:" would
spin thin threads of moonlight from God to make you starry wings.

I would gather wildflowers from a meadow, while we enjoy life
together, then make you dainty crowns to wear round and astound.
I would ask the wind--to once again, whisper the secrets." I really like this poem it's a fine delicate embroidery dedicated to a perfect love. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

Oh Bill, I would give you a 6 if only I had one. This is so beautiful and so very, very sad. I know from reading your work from the past that your wife had died and this poem dedicated to her is so lovely. One of the nicest poem of yours that I have read. I read this and feel such empathy towards you. Good Luck in the contest. Warm regards Dorothy x

I found this read very touching to my spirit, captivated by related desires stated, wonder if at least these thoughts were shared between parties. A super read in my opinion about a missed love. All stated in that opinion.

Hi Bill, you loved her so much and you miss here so much, and that's what makes you a bit adrift. I do hope that you find your way again some day. All best to you my friend. Ulla xx

    Hi, Ulla! FYI, Grandpa made me a bit adrift, 'cause he gave me his gene. He always shared with me. A "SALUTE" for the review/support! Best wishes for an awesome weekend and God Bless. Respectfully with Admiration, Bill.
