Hi Pookietoo,

This is a cautionary tale of mind your harsh words, they rarely accomplish anything good and mostly hurt and make things much worse. Marigolds to the rescue is an endearing tale and sweet . Children especially respond to kindness, don't they? But every now and then, they need a talking to LOL.

Congratulations on your win, Pookietoo!

Always,
Senyai

This is a very nice family story with lots of detail and description. It sounds as if the family is very loving and thoughtful as well as forgiving. Even the most loving individuals sometimes say hurtful things. The really great part of this is that the mom apologized and the little girl accepted and all was forgiven. Nicely done.

    It depends on whether or not we're offered the opportunity. We didn't get to vote on the love poem contest.

Of course it's much better not to say anything. If one has nothing good say, don't say anything. That's the trouble with the tongue, it's only a small part of our anatomy but it can guide a relationship on to rocks. But there is way back through forgiveness, beautifully written dear friend, a magnificent story and so well written, blessings Roy

Your story reads well for Thanksgiving and for a teaching moment about anger Pookie. I like the image and color scheme. Your words are well thought out, there's good flow, and great details.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

This is a great story. Flowers have a special power to help people over rough times. You have done well with the prompt and should do well in the contest.

Interesting. I'm not sure what lesson Mary was taught, but if you say so.

notes:

She went to her bedroom to give her mom time to cool down {and think about how she had treated her daughter.}

-This first part I get. Are you sure about the 2nd part?

A very nice story with a good illustration.

The pace is good. The language is simple, but expressive. The story stays on point. The images are clear. And the end comes with a lesson.

A very good read. Thanks for sharing.

A wonderful family story with a fine thread of moral lesson binding it. Getting hurt by someone you love can be very painful. Being Hurt or going through a hurtful phase in life is one of the toughest things one can experience in life. I enjoyed the story. Good luck in the contest!

You've written a great story, pookietoo. I enjoyed how it centered around the important things in life such as treating all with kindness, avoiding hurtful words, love and forgiveness. The marigold theme was perfect.
