THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!! The ending <3

Iris's should be irises! And did you mean to say 'seedlings have all been scattered'? or 'seedlings are all scattered'?

Other than those two minor details, this is another masterful brushstroke Andrea. I never get bored reading your work.

Just lovely...this was a pleasure to read!

Love this! Your branches reach out and touch us all with your beautiful words-hugs my friend

You never cease to please<3 I always find myself feeling so close to you through your writing. Sometimes you weave words together in a way that feels as though they were plucked from my lips. I just love it. Great job!

Very Great Poem

True poem of strength and that no matter what life throws at you, you will keep rising and fighting for the ones you love, and for life itself.

I have missed your way with words and how you bring some sort of nature and an emotion into every single piece you write!
