I love this poem Jamie. It is something I have a difficult time in doing. We all have unique personalities but mine is always aware to the ‘nth degree that I have so much I have not finished. My books and so many small things. The thought preys on my mind. But here you have made it all beautiful and not to be worried over at all. You have been posting some really beautiful poems lately Jamie. As you would say “Poem On”!
