I've served my time entrusted
with raising children and their friends.
Takes a village? Yes, and even more
it takes being a whole village yourself

Unless someone has been here, the spot you are writing from, they could never in a million years understand. I loved the seriousness of thes lines. I would have liked to see this poem end on a more serious note but still your ending was superb and left me with a smile because I can so relate to what you have written.

Very much enjoyed reading, as always
