I know, right?! I'm stunned too. I know what I was going through at the time, and it's very from that time. But it's timeless too. A great one, if I do say so myself. Thanks so much for the reblog.

FANTASTIC poem, and what's really incredible to me as a writer and reader is how we can go back to something we wrote way back when, and not even recognize our own words as we admire these words, nodding, yes, yes, this is true, this good stuff, this is -- something I wrote!
There's a story there, or a ten-million-dollar-study at Harvard, on how we forget the good that we do and did. We forget. WRITE STUFF DOWN and SAVE IN A SAFE PLACE.
I'm so glad to see this poem revisited - especially in time for Mother's Day.
You are magnificent, @owasco!
I think I already told you this, but when you sent it to me, you did say that it was mine. But when I read it, it was so good, I thought I must have misunderstood you. I love how humble you've made me feel here. I have to print it out and tuck into my hardcopy poem folder. Thanks so much for revisiting it!
