Dear Mike, what a beautiful ending to this poem. I absolutely love it.
Mike I think you have signed up for Medium through my referral link which means i get part of your subscription and I want you to know how much that means to me. You have a supporter for life here. It can be hard when you are new - there is much to learn, even though the editing features are limited. If I can help with anything at all, then do reach out to me by responding here, or by sending a private message. Instructions for how to do that are here:

Wishing you all the very best on your Medium journey and I look forward to reading more of your poetry and essays. Annie🙏💚
