This is a beautiful heart warming poem bursting with love. I like the perspective of you wondering what memories the other person has of you. Very well written and definitely deserving 6 stars!

Lovely poem. Definitely a contest winner. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. My favorite lines were:
I wonder if you realize
the place you hold in mine,
a place more spacious than the skies
of all the worlds combined.
Well done!

I don't run around flattering anyone for fun - trust me. You are THAT good. PS- I've done nothing around the house. Still. :O
Lol. I seriously need to do SOMETHING...........
-
LOL - a few months ago I did a MAJOR cleaning/organizing job because of a long long period of neglect - now I am doing a pretty good job of staying on top of things so I don't need to kill myself restoring order when I need to. I barely survived the major cleaning :-)
-
I'm in the about to restore order again stage myself actually. LOL. It's so awful!!!!!!!! I shop too much. Lol.
Comment from Maria_whut
This poem has a good flow to it. How it went from the negativity of the emotions that we all face and some stay at (as in depression) into what keeps us alive and going. This poem for some reason reminded me of the balance that life needs. We manly don't ever have and I just fell in love with this poetry.

A beautiful poem from the heart. I can't say to much about perfection, other than this poem is perfect. Congratulations on the ribbons, they were very well earned. To look into the galaxy of stars, yours shines the brightest. My hat comes off to you.

My goodness,adewpearl, what a delightful and tender poem. I think the first verse a little weak but the following verses are
just wonderful. I am not too versed (no pun intended) in all the forms of poetry banging about so I may be off base on the first.
Anyway, like this one. Question, "Have you published your work in book form? Will look on Amazon to see if you are about.

A lovely little write. An insight to thoughts in which , more often than not, concern most of us at some time in life, regardless of reasons.
Well done on your win.

Comment from Glasstruth
That phrase, I know how you feel is so false. Yet, we say that to comfort the other guy. Like you start this off with:
"If I had eyes that saw inside
the secrets of your soul,"
Another way of saying if you could walk in my shoes. Great message. Congrats on the win. Les
