But I'm not God I cannot bring,(comma after God)



Just a thought --change the last line of stanza one

speaking like thunder, hope I'd craft.

It's lovely the way it is too. Have a blessed day, my friend~Debbie

The flow and rhyming here is one of your best. It just rolled off my tongue. The rhythm and meaning is that what's within if true, is all that matters. Wish everybody could see that. Wonderful writing. Les

What a beautiful, upbeat poem! I love it, Roy. Just needs two more bits of punctuation:

If I a scribe, wrote words like gems
If I, a scribe, wrote words like gems << Corrected

Reason: "a scribe" is between two commas since it is extra info not required. Same for this: My dad, a retired vet, passed away this month. Etc.

But I'm not God I cannot bring
But I'm not God; I cannot bring << Corrected

Reason: You need punctuation to break this line into it's two messages. A comma is not enough, and I think a period breaking it into two sentences is too much. This is a good time to use a semi-colon.

This is beautiful. What lovely images your words evoke! A couple of things I would suggest you change is the last line of the 3rd verse. Try On golden looms. two withs sounds awkward. Also, what about a comma in the first line of second verse
If I, a scribe, << and lastly, all your apostrophes are correct except the last one. If you read it through it is just a multiple possessive noun Hearts << not heart's.
Lovely piece of work well done cheers Cass

This is delightful in a fanciful kind of way. It lilts along with a joyous tone that someone would spread happiness and loveliness this way. Roy, you have several lines in these perfectly rhyming couplets that ignite special thought or consideration:
1. light with silver stems
2. purest love in cups I'd brew
3. sew these worthwhile dreams

I think you mean "makes hearts sing" - plural, not possessive.
