Hey there Debbie
This is worthy of a sixth star, but mine have been squandered. You are right, we should not let the past mistakes define who we are today. The past is exactly that, the past

This was great because the past doesn't have to be the thing that defines us. Change happens in a split second, which means that we can change who we are, being different than the past, by deciding who we want to be right now.

Hey, Debbie

This commentary poem is superb! Dang, I wish I had
a six for it. I love how deep it goes, and yet it is on the
surface enough for the reader to enjoy the read and ponder
long after the page has been turned.

yeah. EVERY kind should have to read this, discuss it and
write an essay on it. Each and every year of school. I could
name some adults that would benefit from the read too. ME!

Well penned, my friend
Ray

Joy
is partaking in the wonderment
available in the
moment

This is a form I've never seen, and you've done it well. I was really feeling sorry for myself today and needed to hear this. I may not have that many "todays" left, but I have even fewer if I waste them being bitter and angry at my bad luck. I need to hear your words... they keep me sane.

A truly wonderful poem. The honesty in being just who you are is expressed without over stating it, just the perfect structure and not too many words. Just right! Les
