Hi Martina...my apologies for this very late acknowledgement...the pages rolls so fast some times that we overlook even our own poems.

Thank you for your most beautiful comment...I am glad you like it...I learnt to nurture the child in me because it sort of was a bit neglected...I was too eager to mature I forgot to enjoy my childhood... Thanks let me know if you ever read this again so I can come and say thank you once again...

I love this poem, It made me think of when I was depressed, I lost myself, I forgot who I was and when I came out the other side, I found my inner child again, it seemed a bit weird for a little while but she came back in full strength and now poor Liam has to deal with her

I loved reading this

Hi Angela...thank you for your open and honest comment...it's very nice, very encouraging. There is so much strength behind one who triumphs over depression. Its such a shame that the rest of the world only see the obvious...the weakness. But there are people like us who has hit rock bottom and managed to come back...revived, re-charged and with a deeper sense of faith and understanding of who we really are. Thanks again my dear...

Hi Martina...thanks again dear lady...it's a lovely feeling when a poet realizes that what he/she shares touches another heart or soul especially another poet's...I feel it's been worth sharing it after all.

This poem means a lot to me...I learnt to write letters I never sent to the recipients when I was struggling with my past marriage...it was one of my kind of personal therapy...by digging deep within and through a few counselling sessions I realized I have neglected my soul by neglecting the child within me. Hence I wrote this letter for me....a year after writing this I found myself and the courage to leave my unhappy life...thanks again!

I really wish I could have a second chance to live as the child I wanted to be, we were so sheltered by parents that we never knew how to handle painful incidents in life and did not know what it was to go and mix freely I had to face things alone when life turned awry and the little girl grew up soon to be a woman.
"Forcing myself to learn
To be strong, to be patient
To trust, believe, have faith
To be brave, to survive"......and I somehow have survived till now.Its time to live the life I dreamed of.What would the timid child I was once think of the woman I have become.

In my previous comment I really related a second chance as being given to be with my daughter and to have meant "NO" is "NO"I am now a stronger woman even though I weaken emotionally when I think of her,but to be given a chance to hope for a reunion is strong.
Could not help reading it again and adding a second comment Its an amazing write Kathy.thank you.
