Although would hesitate to call it a happy ending, I can see how the ending to this poem brought about a sense of closure over a chapter of life that would sooner be forgotten, hopefully leading to a future where the new memories forged will help to eradicate the pain of the past.
A pleasure to see this again in the spotlight, congratulations!

At least I get to play catch up with my 3 grand children. That is a happy ending.everhopeful wrote:Although would hesitate to call it a happy ending, I can see how the ending to this poem brought about a sense of closure over a chapter of life that would sooner be forgotten, hopefully leading to a future where the new memories forged will help to eradicate the pain of the past.

Re: The Dream
Knowing what you are saying makes me more appreciative of how you are saying it, how you choose your words, construct images, and use sound and pace to strike the right tone. That others can relate their own suffering and forgiveness to this poem also speaks of its power to transcend the personal (although it is deeply personal).
