I love this poem!! I read this to my class and they loved it to!!
Never Shall I Forget
By Elie Wiesel
This poem is tragic I felt the lose, the pain, the unbelief of what can happen in a so called civilized world,
Sometimes this life takes so much from us but we become stronger through the pain we don't forget the tragedy we live with it but we are forever changed.
this is heartfelt and honest.
Dear Laura, I'm reaching out to ask how you are doing now. I really hope you have found the excitement again for your Children and Grandchildren. If not, I ask you to really think about that. Think of how horrible something must be to take something so beautiful and deeply rooted. You don't need that Laura. You wouldn't want your grandbabies or your babies doing something that would take away something that important as the excitement for your children and grandchildren, so I truly hope you found the strength and love for yourself to not allow it for you anymore either. I hope you are enjoying every moment you can with them and that love prevailed. I was told once to care for my mind, body and soul as if I were caring for someone I loved deeply. To ask myself would I do these same things or treat them the same way I treat myself. That really helped me. I deserve the same love I give others and they deserve the best love I am capable of giving. Which requires me to treat myself well.
"forgiveness without change becomes permission"
This one line says so much. Congrats on a wonderfully, expressive poem.

Hi, Zachary. I am really sorry for your loss, these a beautiful masterpiece. Thanks for sharing.
This poem left me with the feel good factor - a really positive vibe. It made me realize personally that I need to walk where the light falls differently, carrying less. Thank you for creating it. Very best wishes, Ann.
I absolutely adore this poem, it has so many parallels between rescuing a dog and how I met my now fiancé at the dog park. We spent 8 months slowly getting to know each other via our dogs playing, eventually coming to the park more and more to secretly see each other, slowly developing feelings but afraid to do anything. Until one day when he finally asked for a date. I say all the time that rescuing my dog was the greatest decision I ever made because it led me to him
