This is really lovely. The poem has an easy flow and a comfortable rhyme. Your message of love is gentle and compelling. Nice job.

Ver cleverly done. Good twist on "If I should die before I wake..." which is what most of us learned growing up--not sure about kids today. Rhyme and meter are both good; enjoyable reading.

It is indeed a novel idea to write a love poem speaking of death, coma and such repugnant things. Your poem flowed smoothly, rhymed well and made fascinating reading.
Yes, we forget until the last minute to say several things which we ought to have said earlier.
A great job.

    Yes, Ramarao. I think on a daily basis we are busy and forget to always tell people how we feel about them. I hope we all take the opportunity to tell our loved ones how we feel before it is too late. Thanks, my friend, for your kind review. Warmest regards, Marijke :o)

Absolutely beautiful! Really tugs at the heart. Feelings such as this should never go unspoken and you expressed yourself perfectly. I especially liked " If I should wake from coma deep, I'll let you know that in my sleep, I sensed your presence and your love, twas you that I was dreaming of" Well said! Bravo!!

Most touching fionageorge. I really enjoyed reading this work. We need to tell our loved ones daily just how much we care for we know not the hour of our departure. Everything flows beautifully.

An absolutely gorgeous poem! Each stanza is heart stirring; and the sentiments expressed so thought-provoking. I loved stanza #3, although they are all wonderful. Good luck in the contest...Bev
