Comment from Mary Hollingsworth
Thank you for sharing this little poem about the passing of your sister. I know it must be hard anytime you lose a loved one it takes us in a place of grief and although there's nothing that we can do about it we miss them so and just long to have them there one more time

It is a lovely thing to write a tribute to another person, especially someone as loved as Pat, you're sister in law, thank you for doing so. Using one's gift to bless others is what it's all about. Well done, a great entry in this contest, accurate syllable count, well done, blessings, Roy

Comment from Liz O'Neill
This is a very touching poem and a fine tribute to your sister with her challenges and strengths. The cadence of your poem communicates your deep grief. Pausing in the middle of a thought is indicative of a struggle to be able to continue the thought because it is just too painful. There is an uplifting tone when you speak of her greeting each day with purpose. This gives the reader a challenge that they too might live with such example of joy despite their struggles. A very lovely work.

Oh, that's wonderful. A sweet and generous tribute. I like the way the -ess sounds weave their way through it. I've never seen this form before, and I was very interested to see how it works.

And a lovely post it is. Sorry for you and your family's loss. It sounds like Pat was a wonderful person to know. I am sure she would be honored by your words. Your poem is a good entry for this contest. Best of luck in this competition.
