There Was Nothing Wrong

[Jody L. Collins]

Oh my word Rachel this is beautiful. Richard the lionhearted...

"I foresee the meadows of your calm

spreading like prairie grass throughout our family,

softening and swaying, perhaps, even the grimace of a generation."

[Mackenzie Chester]

Beautiful. A willow that did not weep as much as it rested…

[Juliet]

I can feel his little spirit from so far… and i can feel your heart in this place of new breath. It’s beautiful

[Bethany Peck]

I love this blessing on your precious boy!

[Gina Dalfonzo]

I'm another who is enamored with this poem! Such heart-stirring imagery throughout, beginning with "sleeping pill bug" to "meadows of your calm spreading like prairie grass." You poet-people amaze me, how you create such artistry with words!!

Absolutely beautiful! Benjamin also refused to cry, and I still remember the panic I felt.

“…the grimace of a generation.” Oh, I do hope so. What a gorgeous poem to dedicate to your son. And, Congratulations 🎉
