This morning I have buckets

This morning I have buckets of tears to release. Some will be reading others' poems such as this one my precious Longo, more will be released in poems I write. To be a hero of one's own life is to live its preciousness when all seems too painful to bear. Only love sees and feels. ~Anna "What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal." Albert Pine

Gracious poem Longo

What a lovely poem you write of the fair ladies here. All of your poetry is very nice Longo and touching. In the same sense it all tells such a beautiful story, kind of like a memoir. Am I right Longo? Hoping this email finds you less pain today and much comfort. Blessings Mona
