F.William, what a thought provoking poem! And it is very true.
I,like many women I know,felt I had gained the right to be listened to,and my opinions respected,when I reached the big "40".

your writing these days. By my reckoning, you'll

LOL if only this were true. It's good to read your work again. I'm really sorry that I've been so slack with my reviews but I've been so caught up with life. I do always try to pop in when I can to read and had a bit of time today. So glad I did.
