yes....yes....yes.....
you can put me behind the pen that wrote this and it is as if I were speaking....
Nicely done.
I need to get enough courage again to write another one of my non-fiction stories....
Your word discovery is misspelled.....
Thanks for sharing.

thank you for the spag. Yes, I can't wait to hear another story even though I know it will tear you apart inside and tears will flow down your face as you write it. It will so begin the process towards Loving Yourself. Don't wait. Find the time soon.
Comment from Jesse James Doty
That is wonderful! I can relate to most of what you say. I say most because I never had a wife or daughter, but I had parents and siblings to contend with. They have tried almost my whole life to control my thoughts and feelings. I am proud to say I have also gone through a transformation of who I am, and am now someone I like. I turned to others for who and what to be, and now I am free of the cult they call family. Not everyone's family was like mine, but thankfully, I have and continue to discover myself every day. I am so glad for you that you found and know true love. I have learned that I have to love myself before I can love and be loved by someone else.
I give you six stars for telling it like it is, and in a most profound way. Thank you for sharing your story with me. I feel I know you better now, Judy.
Your friend, Jesse

Jesse, You touched my heart so much today. I truly don't believe that families know they are trying to control us but they do. I suppose that somewhere deep inside they are afraid to let us go. But when they do, Or if we choose to do it ourselves then we begin to understand content, happiness, love and understanding. I will always cherish your review.

I am so glad we touched each other's hearts. Choosing to let go and do it ourselves is rewarding, scary, and hard. But it's worth it! I am honored by your response to my review. Thanks so much.
Jesse
Comment from Irish Rain
It can literally take years to dismantle all the teachings of a lifetime. All the people who would have us be exactly what they need, never mind, never curious about who we really are. Until, after a time....we forget too. Until one day, we realize it's no fun being miserable. Good for you!!! Took me 32 years, 2 failed marriages....but now I'm me. Blessings...

Hey that's love in a bottle. Short and sweet when there is no games other than accepting one another as is, and having fun at the same time. Good going! Dusty

A well-written poem. Your words flow well line to line combining and forming the message of the poem for the reader. Your artwork and background color completed the piece well.
I have not seen your work lately are you okay?

Thank you for your concern. I have been away for almost three months. When school started I had to prepare the students for a major contest ( My Choir students did better than any other school in the entire Region) and we started the our annual musical , also put on a concert and have another concert in 3 weeks. I haven't been getting home until really late. I have missed writing so much and I am trying to get back to it.

congratulations and good luck with the next concert.

A well told story of a journey traveled. You are very lucky to reach such a destination. Nice piece of free verse that flowed well and kept reader interest.

Comment from Sasha
This is a very powerful poem with an important message. We must learn to love ourselves before we can lean to allow another to love us. Sadly, this is message too many have yet to learn. Very, very nice work with this one. I enjoyed it very much.

Hi, Judy. Long time between posts for you. are you getting notices in your box about my postings? I watched the Food Channel on October 2nd but did not see you at 9 pm ...there was something crazy on ther called the "Halloween challenge or something like that. No worst bakers at all??
This is a very poignant poem, my friend. I especially liked these lines...so true....:
"For the imperfect people we are
Not something we want each other to be
And I can honestly say
I know true love.
You are fortunate indeed to know "true love" Judy.
Bless you, Bob

I have been off the site for two and half months due to the school Musical, a choir concert and a major choir contest that my students came out on top. I have missed it so much. I am going to try to get back to writing but it has been really hard. I will take the time to review again as much as I possibly can because I love reading yours and other writers ideas. Thank you for your patience. I did three show on worst bakers it was on Sundays at 9:00 central time. on the food network. It is online if you ever get a chance to watch it . It was really funny.

Where on line do I see it? OI wrote down Oct. 2nd when you first told me about it???? Sorry I missed it, Judy. Bob

A very well-written heartfelt and uplifting poem. We can only be ourselves and never be someone else want us to be. When we realize there are only one like me, you will find happiness.
