  Well the fourth stanza honestly surprised me, especially with the original context I gave the previous one. This worked really well, Paul!

  that these words
  are someone's daily, reality
  of an embattled life
  is heart wrenchingly, obscene!
  in the words of Bukowski:
  ''Pain is absurd, because it exists
  nothing more.''
  from 'the tragedy of the leaves'
  (a memorable read, dear Poet
  thank you!)

    Sure sad for anyone losing a child.

  Yeesh, such a sad journey. I know maltreatment and neglect during childhood can leave serious scars, and this was an example of that. But the end seems to be the fact that this little girl now has a child of her own, and hopefully she can start anew.

  To lose one yet have another requires great courage. Your tragic tale shows the strength of the human spirit. A terrific poem. - Phil A.

  My mother lost 3 daughters. Unimaginable pain.

    That must have been hard on your mum.

  Very sad words Paul. Children should always be protected and loved.
