Excellent

Your great descriptions of yourself today, was like you were talking for me. Must be the time of our life and our body type. lol In your notes you mentioned finding out that your wife went gambling when everyone was asleep, that must have been a choker. Like the inline rhyming and imagery.

I also found out that there was 10 years worth of bills turned upside down in her dresser drawer.
I'm not sure if I posted that
Lulube.
A good writer can bring their reviewer right within their heart and soul.
In order to feel the pain
I'm sure you've done that quite a few times here and have a wonderful and blessed week!

Exceptional

This was a very heartfelt poem. Knowing the history little from your prior poem about the loss of Carolyn to suicide, my heart goes out to you. This picture shows such a happy family! Death plucks us like flowers, at her choice. We are alloted a certain time in this world, and He decides when to go.

I am sorry for the loss of your money. I can understand you in a way. When I lost my mother unexpectedly, to pulmonary and cardiac arrest, 15 years ago, I went to pieces. My world crashed. I was in a horrible state of grief, and luxury helped somewhat. I stayed in expensive hotels, ate at the best restaurants, luxury, like a drug, killed the pain.

I wish you peace of mind and serenity. Praying does help. Find God in your life, He is the healer. You need a lot of healing and I'll pray for you.

God bless you, thank you for sharing this.

Carolyn suffered from quite a few things before we even basically got married.
After we did she told me that she had been following me since I was a teenager in a supermarket wearing different wigs.
If she would approach me she never would have been married to a heroin addict and I wouldn't have two natural children and two stepdaughters that would have four natural children.
Thanks for your time and sharing and review.

Hey, Ricky. Stopped by again to hear about your story. Grieving can be tough, but this is definitely a way to cope. And well done. Another snapshot with lots of good rhyming and descriptions of the topic.

Thanks for sharing!

About 3 months ago I was interested on timelines especially two of them.
The first of course was the death of my son Jason.
Even though a state death from New Jersey post March 31st 2003...
He didn't really pass away until they stopped the machine operating his heart which of course was being donated along with the rest of his organs.
When you want to go deeper of course his organs still exist out of three out of four as of April Fool's Day 2021
When it was broken all the way down into seconds which was over 559 million.
I compared them to beats of the heart and also the fact that his heart existed in another man with his lungs of course.
When you think about it does our heart beat one second at a time?
Does our heart register each and every breath?
And how can our heart continue beating even after our death?

That?s really fascinating to hear the background of your poem Ricky. I wasn?t aware but I did get the sense of something there.

Thanks for letting me know about donating. A poem with a cause. I can see how that would influence your writing.

The clarity helps.
