Congrats, Ruth. I like how you captured the cycle of life.

Thanks, Lynn! That poem surprised me with how it just rolled out as I wrote it.

Of the poems you've posted, Ruth, this is one of my favorites. I like how you cycled back to the beginning lines of the poem so the cycle (and the poem) begins anew. Beautifully done.

Thanks, Tamara. It kind of surprised me as I wrote it.

I love that poem, Ruth.

I really enjoyed it too.

Beautiful!

Love it! Though that American (Lifeguard's) Dream is becoming tougher and tougher to fulfill (he says after he and his wife made an emergency trip 2 hours south to watch the grandchild because her parents cannot afford daycare and they lost their sitter).

Thanks everyone!

Many years ago, the lifeguard's dreams had a chance of coming true.
Let's hope there's a time when that will be true again. For everyone.
