This was a fun read to walk down the memory lane of poetry! Honestly your poetry from childhood and adolescence felt so cozy to me, like reading a Shel Silverstein book. Some being cute and fun and others make you think. And as someone who also had a miscarriage last year and had a dream I believe God gave me of my lost baby, that poem really really touched me. Thank you so much for sharing Rebecca!

Love the walk through the decades! It made me think back to my high school poetry--I think I avoided angsty love poems because something in me disdained them. That said, I kept a regular journal that I pray my children never read 😆.

My journaling was more sporadic, but I feel the same!
