Your poem see...We are all impatient, aren't we? Your poem seems to tell us to be wise and waiting, the messages will come when needed. I wish you well with this year of change for your family, Ruth. It's not easy to say goodbye in any circumstances, but I did find those first "college goodbyes" a challenge. You'll love having an older daughter, too, as I have, but still... Happy New Year, & thanks for the lovely poem. Best wishes in the writing, too.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26800186.post-79690695232000756542015-01-02T09:58:06.567-08:002015-01-02T09:58:06.567-08:00I really like this poem.
