... and what comes from the heart doesn't often make it into the words we speak... Jen this is an amazing poem.  You are such an artist my friend... I am humbled by the easy way your thoughts transform into words... Your writing is  so liquid,  so natural  as if one were listening to someone speak from the heart.  Thank you for this beautiful write.
