Paul remember me, missed your comments, thought it was high time 'and above the rolling waves' that I should answer this poem, as your comments 'keep me going'. Warm regards, blessings and hugs, Jennifer.

When I saw this I had to read. I fell asleep for a quick catnap and was woken up by my dream of a flying seagull coming my way, low in the sky. It made me think of my mom. Seems like most things do.
