A very clear and concise poem Iza. Impressed by how you juxtaposed how you were being trapped in a garden of darkened sorrows with being set free by the everlasting lights of God. Keep up the great work.

Hello, Iza,

Your entry for the 15 Syllable Poem contest is very good. It sounds like a little prayer :) good syllable count. Have a wonderful weekend.

You have made excellent use of your fifteen syllables to convey a lovely spiritual message about the Light of the world--the Lord, who allows us to see light through darkness.

A very well-written fifteen syllable poem about the darkness and valleys if sorrows in our lives help us see he light more clearly or find the happiness easier.

Very psalm like. Nice image of the light coming through the valley of sorrows, like the valley of the shadow of death. God is an ever present help in times of darkness and travail. estory

My problems with this are all of fotmat.

You could use larger font, without running over the line end, which would help those of us with tired, old eyes.. Similarly, the green background is a bit acidic, meaning that the contrast is blurred.
Finally, I don't understand why you judge LIGHT as more important than My Lord - I would have inversed the capitalization of these two.

Well done 15-syllable poem. You use a Biblical phrase of "valley of sorrows" which was sometimes referred to as "vale of tears" and also Psalm 23 has the "Valley of the shadow of death." In the darkest times, God's Light shines brightest.
