Jaybird, This is a very well written and so very true poem you have penned about what's going on in the world today. It is a sad and scary time if we depend on man. Thank you for sharing, blessings, Teri

I can honestly say that's there's hope for our country. After the riots, I felt fear for our country leaders, but I think if we have faith in our God, things will get better. Like your tradition of your poem. We should never take freedom for granted.

You are exactly right, Jay, both in your love of what we have and your fear of what we might lose. You worded it so well! I cannot think of one error, one thought about changing a single line on this one! Extremely well-written. Exceptional poem.
Blessings and hugs,
Deb

I feel the same way! Your poem had great rhyme and rhythm, and the topic is one of which I can relate. I pray that the United States of America will not fall victim to evil, power and greed... And that we will stay free and evolve into a stronger democracy. Hugs.

I liked your words of wisdom flowing smoothly and expressing anguish. We don't know what the future is going to be, but we can definitely strive for a better tomorrow full of compassion and goodwill. Thank you for sharing!

-This poem is deserving of
my last sixth star of the week, jaybird.
-As always, I appreciate your note and poem.
-I agree with you beginning with line one.
-I love this country and the rights we
have to express ourselves, as long as it
is orderly, peaceful, and respectful.
-We have always been a country where
different views are allowed, but abusing
that right is unacceptable.
-We do have "the need to unify" and
I have to believe we are now on
our way to keeping these freedoms safe.
-It will take work, effort, and perseverance,
but I think we can do it!
-Thanks for sharing this and
have a good rest of your week!

Hello Jaybird1,
Nice piece of poetry having impressive phraseology, smooth flow throughout from the beginning to the end with lovely rhyming scheme, and beautifully depicting the poet's concern about GLORY of the US
The 3rd stanza is particularly noteworthy.

Well written and has a great cadence. I like how you didn't put a photo such as a flag or something. You let your writing speak and create the emotions. It had the tone of something written long ago and yet is still meaningful today. Your piece gives the reader pause to think and that is a good thing. Nice job.

'Time To Pause an Reflect', is an extremely well-written and thought-provoking piece. It was a pleasure to read and review this talented poet's work. Not for a moment would I attempt to answer this talented poet's piece.
