Thank you for accompanying your love poem with the photograph of the special couple captured by your daughter-in-law. I admired your love poem and your addition of rhyme. Best wishes in the Four-Line Poem contest- Joan

    Oh, you make me feel like a million backs. I own a graphic art company and you would think I would never have any problems in this reprinting area. It's like a painter who has no art hanging on the wall.

    So glad you like.

    Sending out my best as always, and many thanks for the marvelous review.

This poem is light and lovely. The reader will identify with the elements addressed here. The imagery you depict is uplifting. Something very needed these days. Thank you.

    Aw, thank you. Everyone has had such kind responses to this post. I'm so pleased you enjoyed it as well. Love this man and he has helped me cope with my sudden blindness. He is a kiss on my cheek from heaven. Sending you my best today as always,

This is a good entry for the four line poem contest. You have successfully used the correct syllable count. Very well written and heartwarming. Great job and thank you for sharing.

So, love gets you out of bed, eh? Try living next door to a damn rooster. I'd like to ring his neck, LOL. He really drives me crazy when the windows are open. And here in the Houston area, they've been open. We had two days of winter and now it's hot again. Hugs, Lou

    There's your next poem, Lou! Lou and the Rooster. Yes, love gets me out of bed. I don't have an annoying rooster, but I do have an owl right outside my window that won't go to sleep at night. I loved your review and thanks for making me laugh.

What a great picture! Love is truly worth getting out of bed for. I'm glad you have lots of it. A good man is hard to find these days. I'm looking for either a good looking young guy who is blind or an old rich guy with one foot in the grave. Which ever comes first. This is very sweet. Rox

    Thank you do much for the fun review and compliments. I agree, a good man is hard to find these days. We met in 1968 at Glenridge Middle School. It's still there as we are not too far away to visit our old stomping grounds. I am deeply blessed to have my Jackson.

HELLO SALLY: This is how I interpret your poem: It takes place early in the morning. You get out of bed and prepare Jackson's breakfast. Outside your window birds sing in soothing harmony. Old faithful...our sun...beams through your window planting a warming kiss on your smiling face. You feel as though you're at the top of the morning...and you are, Sally...and Jackson is too. May our God bless the two of you. Cordially: rhonnie69.

    Almost. I am blind and it's Jackson who gets me up and serves me hot coffee in bed before he leaves for work. The rest of the day I write and do some light housework. Things have changed for me in recent years and I've had to retire due to my eyesight loss. But God has given me my writing and my loving husband, a large family, too--a kiss on the cheek from heaven. :)
    Sending you my best today as always, dear Rhonni.

Hello Sally,
Love is the most powerful force, emotion, gift
and your wonderful four line poem shows that very well.
If one can't be moved by love, they must be a stump.
Great photograph with matching smiles.
Best wishes to you
Robert
