Tribute: Prologue

What a heartfelt write...
It's always the case, it's very rare to find a step parent showing more love the other in comparison to their own


Great ink

I appreciate immensley your comment, POT.  You speak the truth about step-parents, and in a natural sense, it stands to reason. I hope in part two of Tribute to convey a redemption that occured. Once again, thank you❣🙏

Touching ! We orphans tend to grow from the adversity in our lives; may it be so for you too...🙏

Thank you so much Shadow_Starzz❣❣ It's apparent that we speak a kindred look language respecting growth born iut adversity ss reflected by your poetry as well. We've got this🏆🙏🌹

Dear GW,

An all too true accounting of some people and a heart bleed to read.  Here’s what I’m finding to be true though, reading your poems, and now I have a bit more background, it would appear your mother is with you.  If I may be so bold. Your poetry and commenting has a warmth to it that only comes with love.  I can’t begin to express to you how important that is for me and I’m sure for many others.  This is a difficult subject to comment on for me, and I hope I haven’t in anyway upset you.  I happen to think you have done a magnificent job of being a caring and loving soul in spite of “that woman”. You couldn’t write as you do if you weren’t. H 🌷

Dearest, Honoria
Damn you for making me cry😭😄 Actually I need to reverse that tongue-in-cheel curse and instead bless you fir making me cry🙏🌹 I am deeply touched by your comment and your continued, loving encouragement...I am needy that way as we'll be seen in Tribute part two. I believe wholeheartedly in what you say in regard and trials I've endured. They have made me a deep thimker, perhaps too profoundly some times. I can tell that you understand me very well. I am, as are we all, a great conglomeration of our experiences with more than a drop of innate genius, light, and love. One can only hope that the innate traits temper and eclipse our bad experience and make ys a better soul rather than bitter or evil. You light shines brightly my friend and may it ever so❤🙏

To be left without your mother at such a very tender age is surely forever impactful, GW. I know you know this. The fact that you felt her with you and still continue to in a way, is because the best parts of her remain, IMO. Not only do you carry her within yourself, your big heart, loving and caring soul continue to grow, feed and nurture because You. Know. and You understand what it's like, better than anyone. What it's like to be alone, scared and apparently unwanted (only from remembering your little boy's perspective, because you were anything but!) I'm hopeful you understand what I mean... Your sense of empathy is unparalleled. It's no weakness either, it's your biggest strength.  A man as amazingly smart as you are with that capacity for empathy is rare. I covet those dual characteristics, in a person.... especially a man.
I'm so glad you opened up to share, BB. It was a brave and honest poem and it was written with
expertise.
Much love and respect,

Dearest, Lady Blue,
Yes, losing my mother had impact that I didn't discover until much later in life. I have come to terms with the reality that her death will always have influence on my psyche. The thought of me having within me the best parts of her is so touching , dear BB. Thank you so much for that insight❤️🙏  I do understand sweet friend what you meant...I was never actually alone it just felt that way. "Your sense of empathy is unparalleled. It's no weakness either, it's your biggest strength" Oh my I am humbled by that comment and happy that you know me so well🐻💋🐻💋🐻  No need to covet what you too possess. I am so pleased that you enjoyed this poem 🌹

Just dropping by to let you know, these tribute poems are exquisite.
Big, big hugs.

Thank you so much, Lady K🌹🙏 I am super pleased that you like this series. I'm a little harsh on my step-mom in this one but that changes.
