Revisiting once again this poem which is one of my all-time favorites!
I read Belle Wassermeister's poem 'Poor Mary' and it made reference to this poem, so I came here to read it. When I got here, I discovered that I HAVE read it before, and even put it on my favorites!
Just re-reading this poem on my favorites list. Outstanding stuff!
How, "death makes us part", is a misnomer…. When we love one another, nothing makes us part.
Wow! How a great sorrow, a big loss is washed away by a little hug!
Such a wonder of words; a soul allowed to shine forth, briefly. The Mystery of life ever moves onward.
Reading this wonderful poem again. It is one of my favorites.
