Hi bettyready2wrute,
This is a fantastic poem. The tone is tinged with sorrow and filled with love. It grabs all the reader's attention and makes them want to read on. The poem is about someone who is leaving the person they love for their sake, not because they want to. I am hoping that this couple can find a way to stay together. I read to the last word to find out. I loved this poem. The free verse works well in this poem, and you have handled it very well. There is a wonderful rhythm here. The poem flows extremely well. It is a pleasure to read. You have used punctuation and grammar consistently in this poem. There is nothing to distract the reader from their reading pleasure. Great job.
