Te second to last stanza gets me every time. Your delivery and phrasing adds emotional heft to it that always causes me to pause for just a minute

Thank you so much for all the positive comments! Phyllis was so extraordinary, I know that this poem doesn't begin to do her justice.

[Cleopatra1985]

Very nice poem. But toward the middle and end I could not hear because of the audio can you post the poem? Thanks so much for posting this video.

[Basseyworld]
