I think I am falling in love with these Whitney poems. They are short and sweet, but can say so much. This one is beautifully written along with fantastic artwork. Most enjoyable! Debbie

I was expecting another Harley story. It is hard for me to properly review poetry. When I do, it's usually telling the author,I have no idea how to review a poem. LOL. I appreciate the explaination of the technical part, but when I do read a poem, it has to say something to me, which yours does. Nicely done.
hugs book

    Thank you SO much for reading and the generous review. I try to express valid points in my poetry. The technical stuff is new to me; since coming to this site, I've started practicing new poetic forms instead of writing in free verse. I appreciate your kind words more than I can express. ~patty~

My one true Light
Right next to me through this night
The Light being God, I guess "night" is not limited to the time of the day but also darkness, misery and depression too. Where there is despair, there's hope, light as long as you have faith.

Thanks for sharing this whitney.

Yes, yes, yes. "tis so true he never ever leaves our sides no how far we believe him to be OR if we believe we do not deserve his loving care and affection.

Whoiteney's can be challenging to write but this one is executed very well. Your choice of words match the imagery and allegory you write with.
I like the flow and pace of the poem as well.

Patty, Your poem is in excellent Whitney poem form and uses optional rhyming to good effect. I like how you raise the question of where is God in our times of pain and then immediately answer your own question with the reassurance that He is right by our sides. This is a moving poem of faith. Brooke
