Wow, a telling reminiscence. Looks like we've come a long way. But there is hope, especially with poems like this to remind and encourage us towards better living.
This is a beautiful poem. Its healing, hopeful and insightful message can help resolve interpersonal relationships. I really love this. Thank you for sharing.
I'll just like to add that I wasn't so sure about sharing this with the person who was its main inspiration - a colleague at work; wondering if he'd find it corny. But considering how well he received it, I'm glad I did.
It's kind of you to leave such a lovely comment. And I'm happy you found inspiration in it. I appreciate your taking the time to share. God bless.
This is a wonderful poem. I had to read the other ones you've written, Ms. Sylvia, and they are all beautiful. I, too, enjoy walking in the woods and also really share your concern about the environment, perhaps because of my Urban Planning background. I appreciate how simply you pass such profound messages across in your poems. You're an amazing poet. Thank you for sharing your works.
