What a lovely spiritual poem for the Faith poetry contest, Sandra. Sometimes it sure is difficult to keep the faith when every thing is wrong, but not giving up will get us through. Good luck with your wonderful poem.
Smiles,
Indy :-)

This is such a pretty read - overall presentation is beautiful. From the image, to the black background to the choice of font color. Very well done - not a thing I would change. :) Jill P.

Life is unpredictable, and bad times often come about. The author's mother provided a soothing ear and physical presence. In absence of her Mom's guidance, the author lives by faith and praying to God.

Good luck in the contest!
Cheers,
DW

Sandra, This is a very powerful poem. Excellent writing. I know what you mean about talking to your Mom. Mine is gone too. Prayer is so helpful to ease our minds of stress. Best of luck in the contest. Have a good one, Judy

There's nothing quite like a mother's words of comfort and wisdom. As you suggest, they remain with us long after she has passed away. You create a lovely sense of intimacy in this poem of yours.

Hi,
Your poem certainly conveyed the faith in God.
I liked how you bring to the poem how your mother inspired you to open your heart to God.
The end is a very good conclusion for the poem.

This is one of those times hat e-mail can be misinterpreted. "And only mums can really understand." As a father who loves his children, and his adult children still love him, what about us involved and capable dads?

Your poem was filled with love and appreciation; both those shined throughout it.

    Hi Steven, my dad was the best dad I could have wished for. His love and guidance, he was always there when I needed his help. I couldn't have wished for a more loving dad. But the things in my poem were the things I could only talk about to my mum, and dad knew this. I have written a poem about him, a while ago now. I was totally broken when he died suddenly, my mum too, I do believe she died because she missed him too much to continue without him. I can understand that, but I wish they were still with me. I am sorry if you thought I was putting down the love of a father, that was a million miles from my mind. I am pleased you liked my words, Steven, thank you so very much. xsx Sandra

    That's why I hesitated in mentioning men. I was in no way offended

Agreed. This world is such a place that one must at times look above and beyond it, or be slowly crushed by the inert weight of it. This looks close to a sonnet, somehow.

good luck in the contest

your words allow the reader to see and feel that Mum would always build you up in times of need and to call upon the Lord now the loneliness now she is gone
yes the call on the Lord does quell one's troubles

good visual

good rhyme through out

flows well easy read
cheers Smoothiecool
