I cover the misses with hammer with bandages.  Thanks for reading, Thorn.  xo

This is beautiful. You speak to far too many experiences, and remind us of what’s most important. And remember I love you, too.

It's easier to forget that we are not immortal. I try to. I try to just live each day as it comes. Good poem, tim.  And I hope I tell you often enough what you mean to me. xo

I've come to care a great deal about many of our little "family" on this site.

Make sure those you love and care about know how you feel, as things can change in a literal heartbeat. There are things I never said to C, because I never thought the time was "right", and then my time ran out. Not saying these things directly is one thing I will always regret even though I know he knew what they were.

I have mentioned this on the site before, but at the risk of repeating myself, I'll tell you this poem reminds me of something quite personal. When my mom passed away a few years ago, her everyday items found their way to me, including her pocketbook. Not right away, but eventually I had to sort things out. In the back was a color photo of her mom and dad. 

It touched me to find that, and remember my mom saying she still dreamed of them, even though they cut her off completely when she became pregnant with me. A part of me knows a wonderful poem like this speaks for my mom. It says to me what she might have wanted to say to her mother.

Thank you for this. This connection is true poetry, and why it's mankind's greatest time machine.
