Hi C J

Well I am surprised, No comment to this.
There are a lot of poems on this board and to me (opinion)only 1 or 2 stand out as being really good. This is one of them. I think this is excellent, a real message and well crafted, lovely format the last line repeating the rhyme and such poignancy. Really great stuff.
May i keep a copy please?

Gem.
