Would you be so kind as to follow me to?<br /><br />Also, have you ever heard of a website called Scribofile? It's a place for writers to go and submit works and critique others work, get support and inspiration too. They have a whole section on poetry. I bet you'd be fantastic!

I have a friend whose father did the same; died while she was home showering. Odd thing was that the hospital logged 8 entries in the door at the end of the hall moments before he died, but no one came in. They're convinced that angels came to take him home.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12752458901614211514noreply@blogger.com
