<p>There is another one with a similar theme by Rita Dove, but I can’t put my hands on it at the moment. Anybody else?</p>

<p>Can someone PM me the poem. My internet is not working right today, and isn’t opening links, even when I cut and paste the address. (Took me forever to get on here. I hate AT&T! There’s a reason we switched to BellSouth way back when. I don’t understand how this merger was allowed! <rant rant,=“” rant=“”>) Anyway, my mother-daughter tea is tonight, and I have a feeling this poem might be great!</rant></p>

<p>Never mind - I got it to work!</p>

<p>Nice poem.</p>

<p>When my D left, I kept thinking of the line from that Shakespeare sonnet, “Farewell, thou art to dear for my possessing.”</p>
