Dear Cheryl, Thank you for your kind words about my SC-post. Your text is beautiful. I started writing my poem with similar ideas as your "mend whats broken" and "thank those who've enriched my life"; I wrote first: "thank everyone who has made me blessed". I threw these lines out because I wanted to make it rhyme. The idea of hearing my granddaughter sing was the very first thing I thought of (always a good sign), but I had paired it together with a line about smelling the sweetness of spring. (Rhyming words: "spring-sing".) I threw this out because of the 15-word-requirement. I may write a longer poem with all of these lines that were too much for the 15-word-limit.
I agree with your comment that Jenny has given us a very good prompt this week. I have just started my round of visits with your post. But I am really looking forward to reading everyone's text.
