What brilliant news - both about your help in the home and the fact that you are writing again. My poetry writing has definitely come to an end since my husband died. Very best wishes, Ann.
You must be a very strong person to go through this much horror and still be alive. And this nightmare that haunts you won't go away.
It's sad that the family that's supposed to protect you are hurting you the most.
I'll never know how you feel in your heart but I'll surely pray for you. It's hard to find the right words to say when you been through so much.
But you are like a delicate flower that endure the hardship of the storms that beat it down. But you know that one day the sun will shine again and the storms will cease. All I can say is that you are like a flower in the rain and I know you will find a way to reach beyond the pain and blossom again. You are truly an inspiration to for those who's been through it too. Take care and God bless you
A lovely poem - my husband was also a soldier, but I didn't receive any beautiful poems like that when he was away!
Hello Lavi,
I was taken by your faith in Jesus. I too know that our true love is Jesus Christ for his shed blood for our sins.
I had lost my beautiful wife of 40 years and was mourning her so. But through my faith in God I knew I needed to move forward with my life. Jesus wanted me too and I know my wife would want me too. Being lonely and depressed I prayed fervently for God to lead me to and to lead a special Godly woman to me if it was His will. If not, I was accepting of His plan for my life. God has blessed us with HIS love and grace as that special woman has entered my life after a long season of patience and prayer. So keep praying and have faith in God, as I believe there is someone out there for you. God does not want us to walk alone in this life on our journey to eternity.
I loved your poem. God bless you!

Thank you so much for your comments. The lady in the poem, Barbara, has now been in residential care for 8 months and has settled in quite well. Since her medication has been balanced she knows me again which is wonderful. Visiting her on a weekly basis has resulted in me volunteering to help in the home by reading to the residents as part of the activities team. We meet bi-weekly and I have a group of about 8 ladies, including Barbara who look forward to my visits to read poetry and short stories to them. It is wonderful to see the pleasure that this brings them and the bonus is that I really enjoy doing this. To see the laughter and memories that selected poems brings the ladies is a joy. Dementia results in sufferers living in the past and poems from childhood evoke such happiness. It has resulted in me writing again, a pleasure that I lost when I lost my wife. This has opened a new door to happiness for me.
Thank you for liking my poem Janet. My mom used to tell me growing up to keep a prayer in your heart and I always have and I'm asking you to do the same. God bless you and your family.
Sincerely,

Pat, thank you, thank you, thank you for getting it. You always connect to my emotions that create the poem in the first place. You are a very special person. Ann x
Oh Pat,
I sometimes think if it wasn't for people like you I might just give up writing poetry. I get so low when my poems don't receive any votes. In fact I tried to get one deleted, but no success so far. Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to comment.
You are indeed a very good friend. Ann xxxx
Oh Pat,
You are always so encouraging. Any comments from you mean a great deal, as I have such enormous respect for your poetry. I do hope you are keeping well. It's been such a joy getting to know you through Family Friends.
Very best wishes, Ann x
