You certainly have that beautiful, faithful heart that stays when everyone else runs, imagine how Jesus felt when He was betrayed, and Peter denied Him, that feeling would be what you felt, but still you stuck, well done muppets friend, beautifully written, blessings Roy

I can still do it, rhyming poetry, but it costs me a lot of sweat and tears. I thought this particular poem deserved it, it needed it, somehow. Thanks for the lovely review.

Of course you can, I have to really try at free verse, I understand completely, well done girl.

Thanks, Roy. Encouraging.

Bless you girl.

Comment from Lennie Conrad
This poem is rich with language. I particularly like the opening line, "You begged and brawled to see me here". There is no power greater than a mother's love.

Comment from thaities, Rebecca V.
Oh, my! The poor man. Your undying love and commitment surely eased the tremendous stress he could have be under had you sent him away to a facility. You did right by Carlos.

Comment from estory
It has a nice ringing music to it, almost like trying to feel upbeat in the face of tragedy. What comes through in the language is a sense of compassion, of unrequited love. Offering someone a solace, with no hope of recompense. There's a joy in selflessness here, but it is tinged with sadness. estory

You and Me
by Marjon van Bruggen
Hello, Marjon,
Beautiful melancholic poem about your husband's call for help. I like this line very much...
....soul-scent call....
I'm so sorry you both had to go through such difficult time. To have cancer and Alzheimer disease is too much to bear. You must love him very much. I like the rhyme scheme. Well done.

I enjoyed the rhyme of this poem. Alzheimers in itself is relentless for patient and caregiver. The cancer will add to the confusion.Your description makes sense. Ill pray for you.

Comment from Bill Pinder
Excellent expression of the complex emotions that are going on and dealing with the suffering of your husband while he's dealing with Alzheimer's disease and now cancer. I'm glad that you could find some expression through poetry that helped. Bill
