@msolga,
I posted this little memoir elsewhere on the web a few days ago.
It isn't a poem but you might find it interesting

@jjorge,
It did.
And very moving, too, jjorge.
A friend posted this quotation (which I saw for the first time a few minutes ago)
I wanted to share it on this thread too:
"Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity over humanity, nothing exceeds most of the criticisms made on the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well-warmed, and well-fed." -Herman Melville, novelist and poet (1819-1891)
