Feelings Never Die
It is Valentine's Day again, and it bought back memories that were over fifty years old. It bought me back to 1971, and I woke up and I knew my baby was due today. I was big and pregnant, and I felt like I was about to burst wide open. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told my I had a due date of February 14. I couldn't believe it, and since my baby was due today, I felt I could indulge myself a bit. I had gained a lot of weight, and chocolate was on the no-no list, but I had came to the end of this pregnancy, and I hoped it would be okay, after all I would deliver this baby today. So I walked across the street to the grocery story, and bought myself, a peppermint patty, covered in chocolate, my favorite. Me and my Valentine's baby would enjoy it together.

The anticipation and then the let down. So well done. 💖
This captures such a forlorn sentiment. To me it speaks of the very human feeling to sometimes feel too separate from nature, like maybe we're just something a little different from our environment. But I think this poem could say so many things. Gorgeous.
Such a sad ending.
Awww!! I was soaring through those first two lines and then you hit me with that last one. So well done!!!
