Wow.... inspiring and so true. That last stanza is what really got me, hook line and sinker. You are an amazing writer.
Brilliant poem. When will we all learn to communicate? Your poem is a good place to start. Thanks.

Perhaps they have had bad experience or bad upbringings or both.....still questioning but I'm so tired now. I'm getting old you know. Ruth
