A sweet poem that flows like a stream and gives solace to the heart and mind. Loved it. Thanks for sharing such a gem.
A stunning flight of memory and versified reflections. Indeed, a well deserved classic poem of the Day.
A wonderful tale in the poetry.. You gave enough to tempt the reader. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
I’m glad to be introduced to Barnes; I had never heard her name before, but now I look forward to reading other poems by her. This one is lovely in its lyricism and stands out to me for its uniqueness. If you read this and are curious, some of what she says here is contained in my poem Imagine Me. -GK
She always writes beautiful and honest. CONGRATULATIONS of being chosen as CLASSIC POEM OF THE DAY. Hurray! Her birthyear is 1892 and her death is in 1982, both in the month of June. WOW! She has reached the age of 90 years, what an age. A very impressive woman. My congratulations are for her beloved family. God Blesses.
