This poem is good and it held my attention the whole way through. It had my sympathy for 80% of the way through too. However, there is no reason good enough to sell dope! Nope, I'm just not buying it.

Who said it was a good reason, Nicole? Certainly not me! What I said was it is my Christian duty to help prevent it by offering my personal involvement, my help, not my judgement. Me? Promote pushing dope? Ha! You read something into this that was not there, my friend - I worked with law enforcement and abhor illegal drugs - have my whole life.
But then, that's all content, and reviews are supposed to be about the writing, so I thank you very much for your kind comments about the poem's structure. Thank you too for the generous rating.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A beautiful heartfelt poem. There are so many people in this situation everyday and over the Christmas Season it always stands out when everyone else have joy and are cheerful, when you can nearly buy enough food for your children.

Sandra, I'm so honoured - thank you for your amazing comments and this generous review. It's a subject so close to my heart. I added some author's notes just now because I thought it might serve to point out why I feel so moved to write about such things, especially at holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. We have so much, and overlook those who don't, sometimes even judging them harshly for acts of desperation. It's simply one story, and there are so many! One third of the world's population is starving, for example - I honestly don't believe God means it to be that way - it's man's greed... So much more could be said, but I know by your review you know exactly what I'm saying...
Blessings, my friend, and again - heartfelt thanks.

I believe you was lead by God to write this poem. If I could, I would give you another 6 for your author notes. I wish you a blessed festive season.

Sandra, you have moved me to tears. What an incredible thing to say! It is honestly the best compliment I have ever had in my life. God bless you - I am so deeply touched! Thank you. I wish the very same for you, dear friend, and joy all through the year.
