And life does insist on going on.<BR/><BR/>Jeni - your comment really moved me. I'm so glad my little poem could help.<BR/><BR/>Akelamalu - thank you. I miss mine too even though it was not the easiest relationship.<BR/><BR/>the teach - thank you so much. <BR/><BR/>SnoopMurph - I hope you live long before you lose your parents. In truth, though, we never really lose anybody, especially those closest to us. They are part of our hearts.<BR/><BR/>Ackworth Born - thanks for visiting Raven's Nest. It is hard to get these things on paper. I have mixed feelings about this poem. I would like some day to write about the whole long process of my mother's dying, but I don't know that it will ever happen. I hope you find your poem when the time is right and that it speaks to your heart.<BR/><BR/>Richard - thanks. Your posts about your mother were part of the reason I chose to share this poem.<BR/><BR/>Dianne - What a lovely compliment... simple yet complex... and flattering.

It took me twenty years to get round to writing a poem about the death of my gran which satisfied me, so maybe the time is not there quite yet - or maybe I've already done it.Gerald (Ackworth born)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10972748175799683560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-30925016893771478422008-04-18T00:53:00.000-04:002008-04-18T00:53:00.000-04:00This is truly moving and while I do not know what ...This is truly moving and while I do not know what it must be like to lose parents, it is true that they live on in hearts, in gentle reminders and you have written it beautifully.Linda Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16801313102525232162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-6812332909422048712008-04-17T20:47:00.000-04:002008-04-17T20:47:00.000-04:00Beautiful poem for your dear parents, Raven!

But my feelings about my Mom, her life, her death and this poem really put so many things into perspective. Thanks so much for sharing this.Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-86385631993845736432008-04-17T08:56:00.000-04:002008-04-17T08:56:00.000-04:00A very wonderful poem.
