Comment from mermaids

Excellent

I admire your smooth flow of words that adds to the ease of the rhyming quatrains,a challenging form of poetry for me. Excellent rhyming of words,passing,asking,tomorrow and sorrow all give the poem a feel of emotions. This is an excellent poem for a devotional book.

We all have sorrow sometimes but we do need to look towards love and regain our happiness. Great advice in your lovely poem.

Comment from Malerie

Excellent

Very nice, I enjoyed reading this piece. I especially like the last stanza:

"and sorrow's such a needless way
to waste away life's passing --
especially when love will thrive
for those who do the asking"

Thanks for sharing.

Comment from MisinformedPoet

Excellent

This is a very sweet rhyming poem with a good message to anyone seeking to be loved. I think the last two lines:
'especially when love will thrive
for those who do the asking.'
Are a really good mantra and a lesson to all.
