A commentator on this blog named Ros Wain sent me this poem written by her son. I share it because I think it is worth listening to. Ros did not tell me her son's name and the Youtube posting seems to give no clue either.
Thanks for reading this post.

Glad Richard’s composition spoke to you as well – difficult for his parents to judge.
Sorry not to have given you more information.
This is the link to Richard’s poetry on YouTube where it is accompanied by brief text. He only started writing in the last few months (having hit 40!)

I wish I was a poet
I am no expert, but have a quite large collection as an avid reader of the genre and felt there was merit in your son’s work
So please pass this on
Hi Richard,
This is one of mine. Thanks a lot for sharing it. I normally add an end screen with my details on it but I felt so strongly about this issue and felt the words were more important so I left it off.
If you’d like to hear more you can find me on twitter @thelittledramas and on YouTube here: https://youtube.com/channel/UCAA_56-nT8XNJupQmOC3fRA
All the best,
Richard
