This reminds me of the Latin phrase “Dum spiro, spero”: while I breathe, I hope. It’s sad but it’s not hopeless, and I love that.

No matter what I still hope. Beautiful.

Nope. Haven’t tried. Life has a way of derailing me. Thanks. I try to vary how I write and what I write about.

I love your writing style. I could not help but laugh at some parts and nod my head in agreement at other parts. Nicely done.

hello lovely poetess this is beautifully uplifting 💕

Inspirational. It reminded me a bit of Debby Boone’s You Light Up My Life. Whether it’s the fire in your soul or a person who lights up your existence – and yes, an awesome day that is so beautiful that it bears acknowledgement…you captured it!

Sad but sweetly done

As many times as I’ve seen breathtaking sunsets like this, I never fail to be amazed. Your lovely words do the scene justice.

hello beautiful poetess I feel this very deeply 💕

I shed a tear on this one. My son moved to the state of Washington and left behind most of his things. I HAVE DONE THIS! He hopes to visit at Christmas. I haven’t told him about my cancer treatments or surgery. I see the doctor again in less than a month and I’m hoping for good news. Either way, I tell him where I stand. I finished chemo in July. The waiting is horrid. I was so into what I could to and doing it that months flew up. Painful and fearful days also slept away. Now the time us moving too slowly. I have blood work next week and then…the office visit. I really loved this piece.

Scent of yesterday sometimes is everything to let us hold on for better or worse ….

BIG LIKE

this is exactly how I felt yesterday the future is so uncertain for me sometimes I want to leave the world of choices great write 💕

Had that feeling as well recently. Nicely written
