(know not where from where it came: tweak to fix. Well told; timely (of course!) with apt observations re selfishness day to day, ending in a poignant plea. Cheers. LIZ

Thank you Liz, I've made the change you suggested, much appreciated (Don't know how or from where it came) Constructive comments like yours are what make Fanstory such a great site.

I enjoyed your poem. It has good rhymes, smooth flow, and a great message. You are right about praying. To post a picture, you can use Fan Art or a site such as googleadvancedinagesearch.com--both have steps explained. Your computer has a file to save pictures. Thanks for sharing. Respectfully, Jan

Comment from Janice Canerdy
There are probably people praying now who have seldom prayed in their lives. I want to believe Christians are praying daily for the guidance and ability to do better when He takes the pandemic away. You prayer/poem
is sincere and moving.

I think that this pandemic came from the same place that the wind comes from Bob, we don't know where that makes its nest, but I do know that this is the beginning of the earth being shaken, and the things that can fall will fall. This is beautifully written my friend, in excellent rhyming poetry, you're really quite skilled, good to see you're OK, my friend, blessings, Roy

Comment from LaRosa
Yes, I enjoyed the free-flowing 'sound' of your poem. Please, not to worry about not having a picture...the imagery described is just as effective. This is the purpose of the poem. We see her; and we are called to prayer too. It is true, we are so much more likely to call on the Lord in times of struggle and strife that seem to have no end.

Comment from Frederick Samson
Thank you very much for sharing your poem. I found this poem very inspirational and I wish we all could speak and hear these words. As a poem though it is quite disjointed and doesn't flow so well but regardless of that it's a beautiful write, thank you.

Initially I chose to write it with a 'lazy' metre count. But after reading your review I decided to rectify that. I really appreciate your comment and I think now after tidying up the metre it reads better. Thanks again. I'd be most grateful if you looked at it again.
