Thank you for writing such a wonderful poem. It is good to know that there are others who know who the master really is! I loved your first line... There comes a time when truth prevails..... I try always to speak the truth, even when it hurts of is embarrassing to me.
Good job on this one! Cletus Hardiman ( Clete )
Drop by and visit me sometime....I'll keep the lights on for you!

excellent abcb rhyme
good use of enjambment to enhance the flow of your lines
You deliver a most thoughtful message
I really like the imagery of how stones thrown at you become stepping stones

Powerful work, Jewel- and you got a wonderful last line!
i am wondering could you by any chance tell me where that
most famous phrase: 'Between a rock and a hard place' has its origins? Take care.

I happened to say Between THE ROCK, not a rock. The whole point was to stand on Jesus, Our rock and our redeemer.
Where the statement originates you refer to, I do not know.

Hello Jewell
Please forgive my meanness and stupidity. You are someone who means so much to me, and I want you to know it. I love this poem. For the last several months, I have been in a hard place, and it sucks eggs. You are not only beautiful on the outside, but your inner self is so remarkable.

Bear, thanks so much. I know how it is to project what is happening behind the scenes or filter our thoughts or reactions through what ELSE is going on.
Thank you for those kind words and I'm happy you enjoyed this one. I loved writing it too.
Comment from Eleanor Buron
Excellent poem of faith and love for the God who gives strength in times of need. I like all the stanzas but especially note stanza 6 - I love the idea of the stepping stones you arrange for a better view. the artwork is a perfect match to the poem.

Love you girl. I hate being negative, so it most likely possitive to is to stay. if not it's only temporary!
Hope you are doing alright.

I really like this. It is a perfect illustration of the road we all travel and the choices we make. If we can finally find that inner joy and peace, we are, indeed lucky.

Comment from DALLAS01
I love the art and the title of your poem. I especially like the following verse:
They do not know the stones they throw
are stepping stones to get me through
one by one I've rearranged
a path toward a better view
It is our lessons that allow us to grow and expand our horizons; the hared ones are usually the most beneficial.

Awwww, that is outstanding, my friend. A much needed read today for sure. You always have just the right amount of encouragement for people no matter what their struggles may be. Nicely done. Great meter, impressive.
