The kind of work I can appreciate, Bella. Aroused all my poetic sensibilities (such as they are). Complete enjoyment.
Kudos to your parents as they managed to maintain the illusion.

Terrific writing
Flow and rhyme are magnificent
It\'s the content however that really stands out
You took me back to a bus ride with my mum and wee sister
To keep us amused she had us see how many xmas trees we could see in windows on journey
Also loved the last 6th verse especially

the read is effortless and so very smooth with it\'s rhyme and timing. The imagery is quite clear and wonderfully descriptive. A very good and enjoyable write, a reminder of youth and how our elders protected and shielded us.

My Eyes Are Closed

\'So rich, so sweet
When in my youth
They were complete\'
\'Because of age
I now have time
To drift and think
To render sublime
The love, the life
That was my own\'
Brilliant!
just such a beautiful
showcasing of your empathy
dear Poet, thank you!

Hi Bella )
A lovely writing
Birds always make me smile even if I may be feeling sad .. I see a bird a part of me can’t help but smile
They make us feel better sometimes .. even if it s just for s moment

Wow! This is so bittersweet that it is beautiful. I\'ve never seen the experience of Alzheimer\'s presented in such a graphic yet understanding way. It is a tearjerking poem, yet I felt it as a clearly visual scene. Just wonderful. - Phil A.

Thank you so much my cherished friend. I love that you saw those sentiments in all of us, it is an unavoidable part of life, that we reflect and perhaps better understand their value. I truly appreciate the fav. God bless!

BRILLIANT!!!
\'It’s funny how they still hold the faint scent of mothballs and lavender
Here are memories of life and love
Of promises kept and hopes deferred\'
\'I desperately need to visit each, one last time
So I carry them into the garden and we spend a lovely afternoon together
Reminiscing, laughing, crying\'
(even devoid of the Alzheimer\'s context
these sentiments of longing
ring true for most of us
\'as time goes by\')
you have me in tears, kind Poet
thank you!

Some memories hold a sweet scent, others a bitter taste. But embracing them all together shows how much one has matured.

Heart-wrenchingly real and heartbreakingly sad .. I know for a fact, both professionally and from personal experience of insidiously loosing loved ones and those I hold dear .. the beast is so indiscriminate and has no pride whatsoever .. it touches and steals away whomsoever it pleases .. I seriously pray that before too long, it will have had its day by virtue of new and innovative medical advances .. Sadly this must surely now be my favouwrite Bella Shepard post to date .. Neville 💜

This is often sadder for those watching than those that go through it. What they often experience is confusion and frustration. Those lucky enough to be trapped in a good spot are happy and those trapped in a sad spot relive times of sadness in their lives. You have written this with such a haunting feel Bella it does somehow feel lost. So well done.
