Jesse,
There are some friends that come and go bringing sadness and grief for a time. Then there is death which brings sadness you learn to live with for the rest of your life. We all hope for the sweet hello that never says goodbye in faith in life and in entering heaven.
Keep writing and stay healthy

What a surprise this morning to find an old chestnut you decided to review.
I wrote this when I was leaving Sea view, a rehab/nursing home in the town where I live. I was saddened I was leaving the nurses behind. My favorite was Deena for some reason. She was the charge nurse and gave me my medications at night.
Now I hardly remember her it was so long ago. By reading this over again you brought back the memories of what it was like there. I will be having my knee surgery soon and will be going to a better rehab near San Francisco, Ca. It is hopeful it will be a lot better experience there.
Either way, I will be walking again soon enough. I can't wait to hike on the nature trails near my home.
I will keep writing no matter what!

You're welcome.
I hope you recover quickly from your surgery and walk sooner than you think.

I hope your hope is right!

Thank you for this wonderful commentary on the nature of my sadness. I have not given up hope. I am only exercising my sadness muscles. I appreciate your kind words, and your caring concern. My insurance says that I'm well enough to go home, yet I'll have to hire extra help to care for me. Ah well, it will still be nice to be back home again (in less than a week). The nights at this nursing home have been my muse to write lately. I will miss many friends I've made here among the staff. I hope you are well, and have found safety from the hurricane. If it's not one thing, it's another... Thanks for the friendly review and excellent rating.
Take care,
Jesse

Well it looks like Deena is just moving not dying so that should be some comfort. This is a very well written and a very touching poem. It is nicely done.

Yes, Deena is preparing to retire and take care of her mother full time. She is the one I wrote Building Trust about. I took a risk and now we are good friends, and I will miss her terribly when she goes. But I shall always treasure the moments we shared, and how much we grew to care for one another. Thank you for your kind words. Have a nice Sunday.
Take care,
Jesse

I can sure identify with this write. I have moved a lot and so have left behind people who mattered. Certainly social media helps us all to keep in touch but there are those who are not and it does not replace real in-person interactions.

I am so glad this poem resonated with you. I moved a lot as a child so lost a lot of friends I'd made, and it was long before social media had been developed. One on one interactions are my preferred style of communication. There is nothing quite like holding someone's hands or exchanging a hug. But, as I write this, I know that love will find a way no matter what the obstacles are. Thank you for sharing and for letting me share as well.
Take care,
Jesse

Your message comes through loud and clear. There is a pain of sadness with the loss of a friend. But what you miss if that person was never in your life.

Comment from Y. M. Roger
Oh, Jesse... such a melancholic reflection here... I like the overall feel: yes, it's blue but it's also questioning, searching such that the reader is not overcome with sadness but finds a camaraderie in friends that were... and, perhaps, hope for more to come...? Thanx for sharing! ;) Yvette

Hello Yvette.
Thank you for this wonderful assessment of my overall feel to my poem. I do hope that others who read this will relate to a 'camaraderie' in friends that were in their lives, and feel hope for ones who will still enter in the future for them. Thanks for your kindness and caring review.
Take care,
Jesse
Comment from karenina
It is so hard to say goodbye to someone who has made a positive influence in your life. Sometimes it is death that calls them too soon--sometimes it is life's circumstance. I have learned over the years to be thankful I was worthy enough to be put in their path--or they in mine. I dwell on the positive and try to remain thankful for the time we had.--Karenina

I agree with your insights, and appreciate your wisdom in learning to be glad for the possibilities that occur in our lives, and be grateful for what was. You always have something important to say when you review me, and I am thankful for your contributions in my life. You have made a positive influence in my life, to be sure. Thanks.
Take care,
Jesse

Hello Jessie,
I pray you are doing well. I can relate to your beautiful poem about friends who have left us in someway. I am sorry to hear that Deena will be leaving you. I am one to try my best to stay in touch with all my friends. But, sometimes in life, it's time to move on. It's always sad when we lose a friend. Nicely done. Happy future writing:-)

Thank you, Joyce, for your kind and thoughtful review. I'm happy that you can relate to this poem, and that you try to stay in touch with those who leave you. Good advice. I am sad, but glad they entered and remained in my life for as long as they did. I appreciate your positive feedback and encouragement to keep writing in my future. I will...most definitely. Have a good Sunday.
Take care,
Jesse
