that first line was a shot between the eyes for me.

Just the way he made me feel. Lots of similarities. Your mum, my dad. Except for obvious genetic similarities we would both have been happy to believe my mother had had an affair. Different reactions. Does not explain to me why what you do has to be set in stone. Or why you have to justify it by listing your achievements. Powerful story, beautifully written. cheers, Jess

Powerfully Insightful ...

and a wonderful read. Every inch of it. Gives fresh breath to "Truth can set you free." This is the kind of thing poetry is meant to reveal. Thanx so much, Chuck
