I believe you deserved six stars for this beautiful work of art, The words lined up perfectly, the visual images are superb, the messages per line are thought provoking and heart-rending at the same time. Truly exceptional.

It is far better to celebrate the life than to grieved the death. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.

You have poured yourself out from the depths of within and that is not only excruciatingly difficult, it is extremely brave.

Stunningly beautiful it required a six star rating I did not have one. If I had only ever been adored and loved with half the love you must have shown then my life would not seem so hopeless. You were the best person this man could have had around him

This is a beautiful poem that is full of grace. Your first stanza says so much. The depth of loss deeper than you can understand, grieving as much as humanly possible which is no doubt deep. Loving him as man, friend, son, and person- your love informs the whole poem, your acceptance of him in life and in death. I am sorry for your loss. A beautiful poem. I wish you and your extended family healing.

Hello,

This is a very sad dedication to your Godson. Aids is a horrible disease, like cancer. I think you poem has great meaning and is clear that you care for him. Good job!

Loanna Lois, this is a sad story so beautifully written that I feel a 6 is not enough, but it is all I have. So well written and to say it was a joy to read would be inappropriate. Rather it is a pleasure to read something so well written on a very sad subject. Your use of metaphor is excellent and so right - 'the blind tunnel of acceptance' - Very well expressed and warm regards Dorothy x

Oh Loanna, this beautifully written dedication brought a tear to my eye , I am so sorry to read that you lost your Godson, I too lost my daughter 18 months ago and these wonderful words could just as easily apply my dear friend, thank you for sharing your lovely words.

This is a moving and poignant tribute to the godson you lost to AIDs. If you could make it better for him, for his parents or even for yourself you would have. But it was not yours to do. You could only love the man and carry on, grieving with tears and looking forward with hope also knowing that god promised this is not the end. You did what was humanly possible. But if you could love him more, you would.

Hi Loanna

this is a beautifully written poem, It has raw emotion put into poetic words. I am so sorry about your Godson, I thought aids was under control medically. But obviously not for everybody, My husband's nephew died of aids, from sharing a needle.
Very well written I am glad to have a six for it. Mary
