This is a beautiful poem that resonates except for 'hers is a quiet world'. My world is small but noisy!

Oh Nelly, I can't begin to thank you enough for your invitation to write for Poetry Pals... Thank you for your lovely words on about my poem and so sorry it took me forever and a day to share. Sending huge love from Cornwall and hoping one day we'll get to sit with a cup of tea and chat all things poetry together. Huge love to you xxx

This is so beautiful. I think sometimes noticing the small things, and holding onto all the love and joy in the world is an act of hope in itself xx

Oh thank you so much, Naomi. It is so true, often we fill our pockets with the otherwise unneccessary and what we think we should hold, when actually often all that we need is already within reach, in the gentle clasp of anothers' palm, in the folded page of a book, or the hand on one's shoulder xxx
