The art work is great.

I guess one is lucky to have this one

true light through this night.

Maybe this might change tomorrow?

I enjoyed reading these words and written well.

    Thank you for reading and the generous review of my Whitney poem for Him. There is a double meaning - partly my husband is always there - but I know that one day he will, or could, leave when he is called to go home, but my one Savior will ALWAYS be there. He is forever. ~patty~

I liked your rhyming Whitney.

Your message was clear:

Where is He?

My one true Light

Right next to me through this night

He is always there ... we are the ones who forget.

God is always with you, surrounding and protecting. I think I feel Him the most at night, in darkness, in the quiet of my prayer at night. Thanks for sharing. Ray aka Krylon

Deeply moving and self refective.

Silently introverted and completely believable i8n the doubts we all face.

Very nice submission.

I see two meanings here. Maybe that is all it takes. But I still have doubt, though that is no real matter. I get the feeling that you are talking about your dog, but the poem's title and subject matter tend to lead me elsewhere. But this is good just because a poem should always mean more than its words.

Good job!

Go with Love:)

    Thank you for reading and the generous review. LOL! No, I wasn't talking of Harley (for once) in the double meaning - I was referring to my husband and my Savior; one will leave me when he does, and one will ALWAYS be with me. ~patty~

The illustration is a nice setting for the poem. It is a delightful poem which has a smooth flow to it. He never left your side throughout the night, and was always there for you. .

Very effective contrast between the darkness of the night and the Light. This is paralleled by the fear or pain resolving into hope at the end of the poem. These opposites combine to create a very positive statement.HE is right there and has been all along. I like the way you use rhyme here - first alternating - perhaps that ties in with the contrast idea - and then a rhyming couplet - a strong, steady rhyme like the ending comment of your poem. Well done.
