For Those Who Stayed by Thomas Veins

This was a beautiful collection of poetry about appreciation for moments in life that lead people to come in to your life and leave you with a lasting impression. Some stand out poems to me were: If You Want To Write, a simple poem about as it says quite literally if you want to write and to actually do so and get inspired. Almost Zero, about the chances of each of us being here by generations of choices made making our lives all collide now. Snowdrop, was a beautiful poem alikening the strength of a flower to grow through a harsh winter to the strength in life some people willingly take on their shoulders. You Should Be Here, about moments amplifying missing someone, even the mundane everyday ones, especially those. Loving A Writer, about the depth and the different lenses that anyone who writes sees through, reading people and scenario's and situations in multiple ways compared to others. It was a great collection of poems about various people and situations we encounter in life and showing appreciation for all they have given us.
