I think this was done very well. I am not very partial to the reference to Sara Lee. I think this poem is better than that. I would like to see you use a stronger rhyme word there, but it the rest is not bad!

I liked this very much, Edwin. It touched me and made me smile as I read it. I particularly liked,

'You touch me with your words.
They are the napkins to wipe away tears.'

I think that is a lovely thought. You have a simple, straightforward style, Edwin, that appeals to me very much. I like poetry that I can read and understand from the word go, not something that is totally obscure. I want to thank you, also, for stopping by to read my work as well. Your comments were greatly appreciated!

Keep well!

Hi Edwin,

I enjoyed reading this poem. It reminds me of how happy my husband was when he couldn't get to sleep and I gave him a hug and praised him. He said that the hug and the kind words helped him to relax.

You wrote a special poem for someone. I hope you showed this to that person.

Take care,
Pat

Edwin a powerful penning and I just love the innocence of heart portrayed throughout the verses. The most wonderful part about love in my eys and as you have so graciously graced us with is not second guessing your love or the one you love. Often times people second guess love and are insecure within themselves that they unfortunately cause a love to go bad.

However, it is awesomely refreshing when one can just let love be love without any hang-ups. Thank you for sharing your positivities on the subject of love. Continued blessings and success to you and your work.

Take care,
Gwendolyn
