I'm guessing you're the kind of mother they love coming home to, though. I always felt that way about my mom, too. <br /><br />I like what you said about treasuring these lines for the future. I already feel so many memories slipping away from me. We need to stake some down. :)Sarah Hinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13888406261817690010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2133579337316674953.post-55233057113460514272011-09-01T10:50:28.805-04:002011-09-01T10:50:28.805-04:00My youngest daughter moved out a couple of weeks b...My youngest daughter moved out a couple of weeks back. That's all three away from the nest now. The house feels so empty without her. It's going to take some getting used to!<br /><br />It was so lovely to read your poem, Sarah. I wish I'd written poems while they were small. These lines are as precious as the memories you'll hold on to.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17286909482780350161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2133579337316674953.post-36428326696542591402011-08-31T12:44:12.295-04:002011-08-31T12:44:12.295-04:00I am cherishing them more than ever.

Must be a work of fiction." ;) ;)<br /><br />See I'm making up for yesterday by being so nice. :D<br />Like you have, these are by far the best words I've read in a long time, and I've been doing some reading lately. I completely agree with both the Charles'. Charles II picked up my fav. lines too. And since I know, that you are the protagonist here, these are more than just words. This is your diary entry, which makes it all the more personal, honest and special. Small Houses with children running around are the best. Cherish these days, friend.Aniket Thakkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18311954967682696734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2133579337316674953.post-1785235880982566092011-08-29T23:02:58.628-04:002011-08-29T23:02:58.628-04:00I think so, too, Mark.

Yet, the lines where you stand outside that somehow brings a certain sad pathos that that adds depths to the narrative and pulls it together in an authentic word seeking understanding. There are several lines here that strike my heart:<br />The heartbeat of a graveyard where <br />someone may pass and press <br />an ear, long after we’re beneath.<br />They are so good they hurt. <br /><br />And:<br /><br />children zig-zagging between laughter<br />and sobs, the shadow that falls <br />when you stand outside that to which <br />you most belong.<br /><br />Thanks so much for them.Charles Millerhttp://metanoeticpoetics.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2133579337316674953.post-46932762512158327412011-08-26T09:47:45.003-04:002011-08-26T09:47:45.003-04:00lovelyy......lovelyy......midynastyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13949558503891701584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2133579337316674953.post-67394952247546310222011-08-25T23:00:56.899-04:002011-08-25T23:00:56.899-04:00Thanks a lot, Charles.Thanks a lot, Charles.Sarah Hinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13888406261817690010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2133579337316674953.post-35722006650833592122011-08-25T15:23:36.675-04:002011-08-25T15:23:36.675-04:00You sure get the feel of family in this.
