Tanya, thanks so much for taking the time to read the poem and to think over what it is saying and doing. My mother was a great encourager to me, even if we also had our problems, and I miss her. Sometimes writing in this mode, something formal, constrained, sincere, and straight forward, redeems life in the face of an unknown infinitude. I'm not much given to big statements, as I am sure you have guessed by some of the perspectives I offer during class, but this poem had to be done exactly as it is. Not to be morbid or anything, but I do like to think my mom would be happy with it.

I really appreciate your perceptive comments.
