I like the raw emotion of this and it offers a heck of a lot that I can directly relate to. Life's a wild ride, my friend; I like the prayer. God bless you and you've my best wishes as you go forth and put your pain into poetry, birds of a feather ...

Beautiful words reflecting back on your life. So sorry for your illness but so happy that you know our Lord. Yes, it is a good feeling when you look back and can say sincerely, 'no regrets.' That should be the way we all live our life. Enjoyed your words. Keep writing.

I am sure this poem was humbling to write but I'm also sure there are many us out there who write a very similar poem. Thank you for sharing.

This is truly amazing reading. You have basically bared your soul, your heart, your being. You have addressed the heart ache regarding your father, the tragic events of your life and your ongoing courage that has pulled you through. You have definitely made peace with your life and with God. It is touching and yet humbling. Great job, thank you so much.

Even though the poem starts off with a very forlorn feeling, it seems you have taken life in stride and have adjusted to ups and downs. Thanks for a good read and for sharing a life story.

Wishing you the best
