Comment from Jim Lorson Sr

Excellent

I really like this wonderful photos of your granddaughter. Your message is perfect in that each day we wake up is another great gift from our Savior. I tell everyone that hears my voice to make the best of that day, because, it might be your last.

The strong faith I have in God has kept me here on earth when I was a breath away from death four times in the last eight years.

This is an excellent contest entry and I wish you good luck.

Bless you my friend,

Jim

Today is indeed all we have because who knows what tomorrow will bring or if we'll even be here to enjoy it. I'm learning not to shut everyone out like I use to. I'm getting better but it's still there. Weird, I know. But again today is all I have so I might as well let them in while they're here.

Yes, it is hard to let people in after you've been hurt - but you will do more of it as you continue to heal

I believe I have as many days as God is willing to let us have, but the only time we really have is this exact moment

Hi :)
This is a lovely entry for the 2-4-2 contest.
Such wisdom and good advice in your words. I love the photo you chose to illustrate your poem also. Nothing compares to the way a child appreciates the beauty and wonder in everything.
Good luck.
Kindest regards, Debra :)

I love the title you have used and the words have used to interpret them.

You also have a lovely pairing with the art-work. Seeing the dandelion in her hand is also delightful.

Thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest.

Actually, Taffspride, that is a real-life photo I took of my granddaughter. BTW, she just "planted" some dandelions in my yard. What can you say? jan

reply by Taffspride on 27-Mar-2016

Oh good for her, I must admit that like Brooke, (adewpearl) I like dandelions, if you look at the flower it is beautiful Even the seed heads are lovely. I know they are not so lovely in the garden.

It is a delightful photograph.

Thanks again for sharing poem and photograph.

Where is Brooke these days?

reply by Taffspride on 27-Mar-2016

Brooke is in California with her daughter, she has been ill. There are several threads in the forums about her. She is so loved and missed here.

"Siege the day." This is very well written with a meaning for living. There is very good imagery and descriptive scheme. Good luck in the contest.

You said it all in 8 syllables! How very true this is, but especially true on Easter I am thinking.
A great photo chosen to illustrate your message. Who better to learn this lesson from than children?

Most assuredly, poet. The message is strong and rewarding to those who can hear. Best to you in the contest. I hope you win. I find no fault.
