Congratulations on this beautiful poem and winner in the 5-7-5 contest. Another one that I was not notified on. I just checked and I did fan you, but some reason, I am not being notified. I am near blind and really count on this feature in my reviewing. I see you won without me. I just caught this on my day of catch up!!
All my nest,
Sal :+)

    Thank you so very much for stopping in on this one, Sal --- you know, the thing about contests is that you don't get as many reviews because your fans don't know you're in there! ;) :) LOL! :) Take care, ma'am! ;) Yvette

Hi Yvette,
A legacy outside of myself - I have one, my son... I am grateful that somehow my life will live on in him and whatever he chooses to do down the road. I think you and I are both blessed with sons - they will take the great things that we have taught them out into the word and with our writing and the life we have lead, the legacy is there. Congratulations Beautiful teacher for another 1st place win. Reinforcing one of the fun initials I use each time I review - CQ (Contest Queen). MRW - I adore you and you must have all the angels smiling down upon you. Happy Easter!!!! Cheers, Fonda

    Again, you make me tear-up, Beautiful Lady -- this was a surprise as my mind seems to be in about thirty different places, but I try to focus and block everything else out!! ;) It's necessary for sanity once in a while! ;) ;) Thanx for all the smiles and support -- you rock! ;); ) Yvette :)

I just caught up with the fact that you won the contest with this one. Yep, definitely deserving of the win. Very well presented colourfully, and expressing an inner hope that something of ourselves will live on, beyond our own lives.

Congratulations on a lovely win, most deserved, my friend. Your 5-7-5 expresses a wish every human soul possesses, I think, even if not aware of it. Well done, Yvette!

    I'm glad you liked this one, my friend up North! :) ;) It really was one of those that 'came out of nowhere' because this was not the subject matter I was trying to pull together for this contest... LOL! :) ;) Take care and Happy Easter! ;) Yvette :)

These are perhaps words to live by. Since we are so self absorbed in our society, this is something that needs to be expressed as much as possible. I love this and the excellent message conveyed. Great job and well done!

A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about our inner strength that we often hide to the world and to ourselves. When we depend on our inner strength we become more what we dream to be.

This 5-7-5, To Thee I Bequeath, has the correct framing and suggests that we all have a desir3 to leave something behind for which to be remembered.

Indeed, this is true. How often do parents wish to leave a legacy to their children, be it their name, wealth or some other bequest?

Your poem makes the reader think, and I always enjoy that!

What if a parent left their children something from within themselves? What if, indeed!

Good luck xoxo
