I was not aware of your need for prayers, but it seems like many Fanstorians have given you the needed prayers. Your poem is lovely with a great flow and rhyming pattern. Great job and thank you for sharing.

Gert,
I am always in need of prayer (smile) But in May of 2017 I had to leave the site due to a serious illness, had surgery three times, it was a most devastating time in my life. It wasn't until 2019 that I started healing and feeling better. When you start getting older, you don't heal as fast as you did when you were younger. In the past, I had already had nine different surgeries.
So thank you sweet Gert for your love and concern and continued prayers. I will lift you up in prayer as well.
Blessings...Portia

I would normally respond if asked, but sometimes we never hear, although sometimes we never hear, I was surprised when we lost three members this year, but I know they were were very sudden. But I'm glad that you have recovered, I'm just wondering what Helen it was. Lynochka perhaps, beautifully and humbly written, well done, PG, blessings. Roy

Hi Roy,
Thanks so much for your review. Yes, the Helen that I was giving tribute is Lynochka. I actually came across the poem she penned unknowingly. After reading it, tears poured from my eyes. I am so blessed to be back on the site. My heart was sadden to hear about the passing of Dean, Phyllis and Aldepearl.
Blessings my friend...Portia

Thanks Portia, also Heather
Rose and Michael Cahill, bless you Portia,

First of all, I am happy to hear of your recovery, thanks to God. In my opinion, this is a striking and beautiful tribute to a special friend, and a tribute I am certain is more than simply appreciated. The reason for my rating are the uneven spots that could be revised to smooth the rhyming rhythm. Reading the work aloud will clearly demonstrate these spots for you. With your permission, I elaborate, but these are only suggestions:
1. Stanza 1 - A poem she penned, to my surprise,
2. Stanza 2 - 4th line - delete the word "as,"
3. Stanza 3 - To have a friend like you, I am blessed,
4. Stanza 4 - I thank God for all on this site,
4th line - delete the word "I."
Once again, my opinion...

Comment from Patty Palmer
Glad that you have remained among the living! Our God is an awesome God. He steps in when needed and He always has your back. He has shown me time and time again what a loving God He is. He hears every prayer of every person so I'm sure He heard every word. Take care and I'm so glad you are feeling better!

What a lovely tribute to Helen. I'm sure she'll be delighted when she reads it. Prayer is a strong medicine, and it works. I'm so pleased to know you are finally better and back with your FS family. I enjoyed reading your well written poem. :)) Sandra xx

PHarp,
I see you still have a big, generous heart. I hope you are doing better. I get the sense you were quite sick so I truly hope you are doing better now.
That was a lovely poem thanking your friends for their thoughts and prayers. I will send you healing light and hope you continue to heal.
Namaste

Thanks so much for your review and very kind comments. I was very ill. I was in the hospital for quite a while and tubes and machines were hooked, it appeared all over my body. I welcome and thank you for the healing light and will continue to thank God for my healing.
Blessings and much love...Portia
