I too, am searching for a kindness, a tenderness that I know too well won't be found in this world. I still haven't come to terms, yet, with the fact that everything I love-or long to love-will be taken away. I live everyday, refusing to think or imagine what it would be like without love and kindness-even in the absence of it at times. I guess I'm just a hopeless romantic.

Thanks so much Mr. Kelly, for the analysis of this poem and for the honesty and tenderness in your words.
