this brought back memories of my school mate that became a missionary and the stories she told were absolutely wonderful and enthralling. This is excellently written and a great tribute

This is truly lovely Sandra. I like the picture you chose for the poem. I can believe they had some wonderful stories to tell. Stories of far off places and people of different cultures. Well done in heptameter and aabb rhyme. xxx Nancy

Comment from winnona
A very well- written poem. One that expresses the importance of the deeds that were accomplished by the woman of the poem. She sounds like a very important person in the church,

Comment from Mystic Angel 7777
It is a special soul that is called to such a mission. Your poem speaks to that fact beautifully. It flows well and is very soothing when read aloud owing to the smooth and lilting nature of the meter. Nicely done and I thank you very much for sharing it.

This was so very well done Sandra. It is a great tribute to the missionaries and the work they do throughout the world. Not only the work of sharing God with others but in also sharing the outcomes with people back home who care. Definitely walking in God's embrace/ Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for this lovely review, Alie. It's strange how we remember some things from childhood, this was a special memory I had. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :) Sandra xxx

You are very welcome Sandra, I am finding that as I get older those memories have become fonder.
Comment from BeasPeas
This is a well written poem, Sandra, honoring those who give so much of themselves to others. Our church has missionary Sunday in which visiting missionaries come to tell us of their work and ask for financial support. I think all religions have something similar. It's not an easy life for them, but they are willing to try to make life better for others. Marilyn

Comment from Ben Colder
There is always a certain glow about those who walk with God. They meditate day and night upon His word and fast often. I know His presence and glad you had the experience of hearing and see God at work. Remember, let the little children come to me, such is the Kingdom. Well done, Sandy.
