I found this book to be quite touching and meaningful in nature. The poet writes about many subjects and I won’t write about them all. A dog, abandoned, found by a gentle woman, fed and slept part of the winter day, awoke, worried he might make a mess on her floor, not trustful that he won’t be abused, let out the front door and his business done, he looked back, she welcomed him back inside. After a very long time, the dog finally began to trust the human who gave him a forever home with food, love, water, warmth, caring, no longer fearful of being abused. Who does that not evoke thoughts of how some humans treat animals and each other. Food for thought. One more to touch on. I’ve two children in heaven. A man at age 22 becomes a father, and that information is kept from him for 22 years by his mother. Another tough read. To be the father of a 22 year old woman, never seen her, and he always wanted kids, his wife divorced him, and then he finds out the deep betrayal by his mother. She was wrong.
