Maryanne, this poem touched my heart when I first read it. It seems in life even the simplest of things we do everyday we do not think about. Like breathing or walking. Life can break us down so much that it becomes more and more difficult. I loved how you went one line at a time here because I think it adds more power to the poem and each line holds it's own soecial meaning to me. As I said at the start of the poem you are talking about the simple things and at the end you need or found someone to walk you through life. It could be a lot of things like love of a person or religon (god?). Anyways. Wonderful write!
