Feelings Never Die
It is Valentine's Day again, and it bought back memories that were over fifty years old. It bought me back to 1971, and I woke up and I knew my baby was due today. I was big and pregnant, and I felt like I was about to burst wide open. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told my I had a due date of February 14. I couldn't believe it, and since my baby was due today, I felt I could indulge myself a bit. I had gained a lot of weight, and chocolate was on the no-no list, but I had came to the end of this pregnancy, and I hoped it would be okay, after all I would deliver this baby today. So I walked across the street to the grocery story, and bought myself, a peppermint patty, covered in chocolate, my favorite. Me and my Valentine's baby would enjoy it together.

Very powerful and well said!
This is a reflection on the often-unseen sacrifices and contributions that are essential for sustaining life. Love this, DJ! 💌
Gosh this hit so hard. It's the truth. Loved your Senryu!
Deeply powerful and true - may we all be more aware and grateful!
So poignantly and profoundly true. We are inclined to take so much for granted sometimes.
So very true, sir!
