Hello, Brooke
I always appreciate your simple approach to life's complicated questions, for in the end, daily challenges are met by countering with the thought, "I am blessed with what I have." Happiness does not lie in having it all, as the media would suggest, but in realizing that we have enough to sustain our spiritual and physical essence.
The piece was enhanced by the wonderful enjambments and solid rhyme, well done. Best of luck with your entry, Bill

Brooke: one of your most lovely poems of love and God and earthly things. Written in your usual rhyming quatrains, smooth as a babies skin, easy and peaceful reading. Hats off to you, our Miz Brooke! Linda

Hi Brooke,
This is another great poem for the Faith Poetry Contest. Of course everything you write is outstanding. You know so many different styles too, which is amazing. Best wishes for the contest.

Hi Brooke, we often take all of this wonderful creation for granted. It is a pity that we don't show more appreciation of this great world and the bountiful nature. If only more people would think like us. If they destruct this beautiful creation there will be nothing left. For one I wish they'd invent transport that doesn't use oil.
Well penned. luv jada

Interesting poem on Faith in God. I think your last quatrain pome describing faith would have worked for this contest as well. This is also well done.

How sweet! Yes, it good to stop and remember to count our blessings! It brings us out from under the gray and gloomy type of clouds.
Love the picture too!

Dear Brooke,
Your Faith Poetry contest entry is very well written. You have given credence to the God of all creation. The last verse is one of thanksgiving for all He has given you. All I can add is, Amen.
Nicely done,
Carolyn
