   Wow! This is beautiful! A lot of thought must have gone into this!

   One correction — the apostrophe in ‘it’s’ is unnecessary. It’s the only possessive that doesn’t get one — and it’s because the contraction it is does…so you can have one more character if you need it! But I don’t think you need it at all.

   What one loses, another gains indeed!
   I loved the way you juxtaposed the shooting stars into your poem

    Very sad and touching. I especially love the last line–poetic, for sure.

    Very nice poem Leslie…and must agree the last line was very special within the poem.

    So sad but touched my heart…you have a way with words Leslie. It seems I’m always the last to leave a comment because of the time difference!! Better late than never my friend

    Actually, this made me think of a mother learning to let go of her children. That’s weird, huh? But there you go, that’s what I thought. Brilliantly written, Moon.

    Dear Moondustwriter,

    I love your name and your MFM.

    A twist – a profound lost instead of deep longing…
