Hi A. I found this one somewhat trite I'm afraid, reminding me of child's song or rhyme a little. Well crafted and warm, but a little too singsong for this reader's tastes. >W<

Comment from honeytree
I loved the art work so much.
your words were wonderful as well.
Flowers, any type is a very great gift from God.
"Dandelions, daisies,
butterflies and bees,
fireflies and fairies,
God gave us all of these.
Whenever I feel certain
that everything's gone wrong,
when I'm convinced the path to grace
is far too hard and long,
I sip some honeysuckle,
take shade beneath the trees,
keep company with fairies,
and there I find my peace. "
It is great sitting under a tree and read a book.
I loved your writing very much.

This is a wonderful poem, full of peace and serenity.
I noticed no spag issues in this writing.
As a coincidence, it was only yesterday I was showing my three years old granddaughter how to make a daisy chain - it was very therapeutic.
A lovely poem and a joy to read.
Best wishes

Comment from Peter@Poole
All right, Brooke, if you say God created fairies, who am I to argue? The poem is, however, lyrical and uplifting, suggesting that we should try to back off from overwhelming problems and just chill out. I bet Miranda likes this one.

Of course, you've tried to present God to her.

LOL means laughing out loud :-) ROFLMAO means rolling on the floor laughing my ass off

Ooooh! Didn't we agree that LOL meant 'lots of love' and lol meant 'lots of laughs'? No? JQM

I prefer 'tush', especially when referring to a lady like you. ILD

all the internet abbreviations originate with the young - I doubt some of them even know what a tush is!! ;-)

Comment from Chris Edwards
Hi ADEWPEARL,I read this and thought it was great and I especially liked the caring sentiment that you have added in your author notes.This poem has an uplifting way about it and reminded me of the song favourite things by Julie Andrews,with excellent flow and rhyming pattern.
Best wishes,
Chris.

Comment from Janilou
It does become hard sometimes, doesn't it, to read of all the pain and the suffering, because one feels so helpless.
I love getting up early and spending time looking into the heavens at the glorious stars.
A wonderful poem and I didn't see any errors at all.

Comment from Lani2
This is a beautiful poem to brighten anyone's day. God has given us all the beauty of nature, only sometimes we are overwhelmed with problems that we don't take the time to notice.
This is one of the nicest poems I have read in a long time.
Your rhythm, subject, choice of words,and coloring are all good. Nothing to change. lani2

Each of us has to find our release valve in life. Mine is writing. You're right, we often need to take a few minutes away from the problems and step back.
This is lovely. You did a great job. No SPAG.
