Check Yourself Out
Accidental Poet said:
So very true. Modern conveniences can save us time, but in the long run continue to replace the human with a machine. I\'ll remember this next time I\'m at the check-out. Thanks for posting this excellent write.

Wow! I can\'t believe no one has commented on this poem I wrote today. Must be all about the same issues I\'m having and maybe everyone is tired of hearing it!!!

Is It Worth It?
myself and me said:
It might seem a burden hard to bear now, but one day, you will take it as a blessing. I can feel the heaviness on your back at the moment.

I, too, was the sibling who, by default, was the one who took care of our mother for so many years. A brother finally stepped up but died shortly thereafter, so I got her back. I can appreciate your fine poem, Edward. Thanks for sharing!

Your warm willing heart shines through these questioning lines my friend - caring is worth it if our own health holds up to the challenge. A moving read.

It\'s amazing that you\'ve kept it! I have a box somewhere from my teenage years, what\'s left of it anyway. An abusive boyfriend shredded much of it in a fit of rage when I was 19. Nostalgic share, Edward! Life is a wisp of smoke.

A fine write E. In my UK \'11th grade\' I was in the intricacies of The Canterbury Tales. I made neither head nor tail of it much, until years later, reading in more modern language!

My dear mum passed away a few years back now and I still miss her so so much. This is a super piece of writing and brings back memories of my own mum.
