You captured all the important facts about our family in one poem, congratulation Freya. Very well written. Thanx. JoeC

Author’s Response: Thank you, so much! Your review inspired me to re-read the poem, and Ben does offer some very wise advise. Easy to forget to not let the void fill us! 😉 I’m very glad you enjoyed this!

Wise words from Ben!

Author’s Response: Forgive my very long delay in responding to your very kind review! Thank you for both reading & reviewing! I assure you I appreciated it back when you left the review in the first place, but life gets in the way of all our best intentions, and somehow my responding got lost in the wayside! Thanks again!:)

Beautiful, freyakendra! I especially love the line, “we must not let the voids fill us”. Wisdom worthy of Ben himself!

Author’s Response: Thank you so much!

So touching! Actually started to cry, as I do with all bittersweet things.. Thank you

Author’s Response: Thank you! It is bittersweet, isn’t it? I love to think of them living forever and being forever young. But there’s a certain comfort to seeing the legacy grown on, nonetheless. I started to cry, too, both when I read it and when I conceived it (in the middle of the night as I awakened from the dream of Adam on that hill).

Wonderful imagry, Freya.   My favorite line: “The creak of leather plying waves of grass.”

I’m envious at what you can do with words.(And without even intending it!)

Great sentiments, just as subdued and moderate as Adam would write them.

Author’s Response:  Thank you! I just saw this review from you…fortunately not all THAT far after you posted it, too! 😉 (I sure wish I could get the email notification to work again, but…) I’m especially glad you found these sentiments to fit Adam’s mindset! 🙂

Love it; love it; love it!!! The emotions ring so true. It is an explanation I think that Joe could understand and accept, though still with a measure of regret. Well done!

Author’s Response: Thank you so much! I’m thrilled you thrice love it! 😀

Sorry, too lazy to sign in. You may love Joe best, but you really have a wonderful way of crawling into Adam’s head. This is lovely, thank you.

 Author’s Response: Nothing wrong with being lazy, especially when you still invest time in providing feedback! Thank you very much! I love crawling into all their heads from time to time! 😉 I’m glad you find it works!

WOW! The power of the pen is mightier than the sword (or the spoken word). Such words are more easily conveyed via pen to paper than could be said face to face.

Author’s Response: I know for me that’s true. I can never find sufficient words face to face. Even writing a letter works poorly. I write a lot of words, but fail to convey what I really want to say. Poetry, however, somehow always “hits the mark.” ;)Thanks for the R&R!:)
