Hello, my friend,
Fine entry for the silver lining writing prompt contest. I like the rhyme scheme and meter. It has a very nice rhythm. The presentation is nice too. I like how positive your poem is about the crisis.

Comment from Patty Palmer
I really like your poem! I've heard it said that every cloud has a silver lining. It would be nice when this is over if people continued banding together, but I thought it would last after 9/11, but it was short-lived.
Maybe it will be different this time! I would be satisfied if they just stop fighting in Washington, D.C. and run the country already!!
Stay safe and healthy!

Thank you so much for the review and nice comments. I notice that several of them are listed as fiction. I started to see about getting that changed but then, It's much easier to get it on page one as fiction and also the readers get more money for reading it. I know I'm not getting many reviews this way So when the voting starts I'll see about changing it.

You are quite welcome. You can make that change yourself as long as it is in preview mode. I have noticed that some default categories have to be changed when you post something. Take a look at them before you do.

I read this poem with mujch interest in view of the terrible effects in our world. I like this line you wrote " we can't take our lives for granted..." I do agree. How you write, we must celebrate health as long as we can.

Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
Powerful message in good rhythm and rhyme. I especially like the first verse--vivid in imagery and wise in words. I trust they are your own. Cheers. LIZ (night has past s/b passed).

Thank you so much for the review and for your comments. I'm sure something somewhat like this has been expressed before but they are my words. Some of others sentiments may be stuck in my head without me realizing it.

Comment from GE Parson
Dear author,
I really like your poem, of positive thoughts.
For some people who are pessimist about everything, they
need to read this. Your poem reminded about a church service in which everyone was ask to give a testimony of their favorite Bible verse.
One man stood up and said his favorite verse was "And it came to pass"

Thank you so much for the review and comments. I 'm glad you liked it Cute story about the Bible verse. I don't know how this got in the story section. The contest called for a poem.
