I agree, Patty.
It is very important to hold onto our dreams.
Dreams cause us to create goals, and goals force us to be productive.
But only if we're serious about achieving those goals, of course.
Sure, sometimes it's hard, grueling work. But anything worth having's worth working for.
Congratulations on you win.

This work has reached the exceptional level

You got the meaning of Christmas in a 5-7-5 poem. That is not easy to convey your inner thoughts in such short and restricted verse. Good job, well done thank you.

This is a beautiful piece about a subject that I'm sure we all have done many times, wishing upon a star. The presentation is also gorgeous.

Congratulations on winning the contest...Bill

    Please excuse the 'cut and paste' acknowledgment of your review. I'm taking a short break from Christmas preparation and packing for my move, so my time is somewhat limited.

    May you and yours have a wonderful holiday season. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Congratulations, Patty. I did not see this poem on its original posting, but then again, I am not on the site everyday.

I can see why this poem won the contest. The poem offers hope, prayer, faith, and dreams. You said so much with a few words.

Again, this win is well-deserved. Bravo!

Good morning again, Patty: Yes, I checked the syllable count and of course it is all correct. I do know what you mean though because some people do count certain words with the wrong syllable count. They count certain words as two syllables when they are actually three. (lol)

I agree, dreaming can't be wrong. Dreams are another gift that comes from God so dream on and prayer is always important. Put it all in His so worthy Hands. He is truly capable. Your post is splendid.

Good afternoon, Patty

One's faith can have one wishing that their prayers will be answered, that hope will defeat doubt, that faith will see us through trying times.

Take care and say safe,

Ray

That last line is perfect. Dreaming is definitely not wrong. The picture works well with this. The syllable count is correct. Good luck in the contest!

Hello, Patty,
I hope this means you got the house!
I didn't know prayer was two syllables -- you learn something every day.
I hope you aren't running around like a mule on steroids (I made this up to avoid an overused cliche, LOL). I haven't started to cook yet. We aren't eating until 4:30 so I have time, I hope. (I ALWAYS think I have time when I don't.)
Happy Thanksgiving!!
