Comment from Ogden
Who in the world would not agree with these noble sentiments? (The record for prayers undoubtably has been smashed.)
(I think you will want to delete the first 'where' from the second stanza.)
Keep safe, Bob!

Thanks Ogden for your suggestion. I've changed it and it reads so much better. Hope your life is safe and comfortable at the moment.

I read with much emotion your insightful words in this time of worldwide turmoil. My favorite line is the following "We know not where from where it came..." It has a touch of so much truth...

That, I must admit was also my favourite line. But I've had so many critical comments about it that I changed it. Thank you for reading and offering a comment.

Hello my friend
Adding a picture is not hard. Let me know if you want help. I can send you step by step instructions.
Your red background and the light font is hard to read. When you choose a dark color background use a white font.
Good job with the religious poem encouraging people to pray. Well done.

Gypsy, love the image you use of yourself. It reminds me of Abby from NCIS. The tatooed snakes, or maybe dragons really do look good. Thank you for the review
Comment from joycetreasures
Hello Bob,
Your poem, "A Pandemic Catastrophe" said it all. We all need to do our part during this Pandemic crisis. We need to call on our Lord and Savior to help take this ugly disease away quickly. I like the rhythmic way you used your words. We tend to be a selfish nation. It's time to get on our knees and pray for our Lord and Savior to help with this crisis. God is able. I like this poem and it shares your heart in your words. Thank you. Good job!
No revisions I see. Very touching. Congratulations on your 8 novels. Thanks and keep writing:-)

Joyce, thank you for all those stars they are very much appreciated. I'm delighted to know you understood the message I was hoping to deliver. I believe help is out there, we just have to ask Him for it.

This is a lovely meaningful poem saying things many of us are thinking about, Bob. I hope this Pandemic is an eye opener if nothing else. It is certainly going to slow things down for a while. Well done. Nancy:)

Nancy thank you for the review it is very much appreciated. Personally, I see it more as a timely warning from the Good Lord. Telling us to improve our ways.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem/prayer about the pandemic catastrophe we are all over the world facing, it us not something we asked for but we have to deal with it and pray that God will take it away.

I gather South Africa is at this moment also experiencing the madness. It truly is world wide. Sometimes I wonder if it is indeed a warning from above advising us to change our ways. Thank you for the review
Comment from Benny Beeharry
This is very uplifting. But I think there is something negative here. And then we will all be safe. But t once we are safe we will go back to our old trick of forgetting and having no time for Him. Frankly and heartfully I would say to the Lord : Let your will be done, not mine.

You have summed up human nature so succinctly. When in trouble we pray, when everything's going well, we forget all about Him.
