Easy flowing, smooth and
the sentiment most clearly
portrayed. One little iddy-
biddy thing: "for me to carry on." needs
a coma instead of a period, figures
it was probably a typo..Best of luck
with the contest...Lora

Marijke,

Well good for you that you have such a loving, strong
and faithful husband that you can entrust your heart
and life to.

Your poem is well written and I can actually relate to
so much of what you have conveyed in it. I think this
poem about the love you and George share makes a
perfect faith entry.

Linda

#30!!!!! Yay! You made it! :) What a wonderful job forging through to meet the challenge this month.

Your relationship with George sounds amazing! :) I am sure he will appreciate the sentiment of the poem. I enjoyed the unique approach to the Faith Contest!

my favorite stanza:

I trust you with my very life,
our love solid and strong.
As long as I have faith in you,
I know I can't go wrong.

Good luck!

Kim

Cheers to you and George. He sounds like the kind of partner that you can rely on and respect. We all need someone who "has our back" and vice versa. Smooth reading with good word choices to progress your poem. Clearly written with good rhyme. Marilyn

A poem with a special message. I must admit I love tribute poems as they always come directly from the heart. And this is rich in that area.
Your rhyme and meter flows nicely.

A personal question. Didn't you write previously under a different name. Was it Sally something. Good to see you back

    Hi Bob. No, I have always written under the Fionageorge name. I have been away for nearly 3 years,, and have only come back to past month or so. But I remember your name from before. Thanks for remembering me. Warmest regards, Marijke :o)

There are more ways to be supportive than constantly talking to somebody.

As long as the other person is there, and you know it, that should suffice through "the good times and the bad".

A beautiful poem to your husband who truly loves you. My late husband was the same, he never say a harsh word to me, but he was always there in my darkest times he was my crutch to find the light again.
