Years of service and what do you have to show for it if that take it all away.

Superb work, my friend.

Thanks. I agree I have seen what hard work did to a man. He finally retired and then his illnesses began to destroy him fast. Sorry to get morbid. Thanks for reading

What is the world coming to eh’ .. don’t let on, sometimes ignorance is bliss and anyway, I have yet to complete stocking the bunker 😎👍

Marvelous piece of writing Fia. Powerful, unapologetic and demanding. This is a well thought out piece. Nice work.

Powerfully penned, Fia. Excellent write my friend. Your voice was authentic, focused, and real.. A very moving piece. Appreciate you, cuz.

I imagine this was somewhat cathartic once you got it off your chest and out in the open .. You have a fine pen and a lovely voice by the way .. Neville 😎👍

Pow! Truth!

Wow. Powerful work.

Thank you for saying that, John😊

Fia, this is one of the best poems defining the realities of love gone wrong that I have read. Your introspection here is precisely articulate, emotionally honest to a tee, and powerful. This really spoke to me as a man. You really told it like it is with the sincerity of a genuine woman who has been through the wringer. Poetry that does more than engage the reader it made me think and feel deeply. And the spontaneity here is fabulous. Thank you so much for sharing this testament.

John
