Comment from Mario PIERRE
Hello Debi!!!!!
Long time since I've not been around, and no one even noticed!! LOL
Thank you for this wonderful reflection poem. It is so deep and meaningful at the same time, and it's so touching and asks for the reader's soul-searching! I wish we all could ask and answer positively to these vital questions!
Beautifully written, Debi!!

Mario, believe me you have been missed. I asked someone about a week ago if they knew if you had quit or what. Yet your portfolio looked in tact, as I did go snooping. Lol..
Thank you for your kind words for my poem. It is pretty much my checklist of what I do when I start thinking I have it all under control. Then I realized I am using way too many I s. That is when I know I need another check up. Thanks also for the gift of six stars and so appreciated, my very dear friend. Btw, how long were you gone and I hope all is ok?

I love all your work Debi.
I'll try to be more present, my wife was unwell for some time and I had to be with her. Was in no mood to write anything...
Thank you for caring!!
-
Good to have you back, Mario. And I will pray for your wife and you. Is she doing better now?
-
She is under heavy meds, which have horrible side effects, as you might guess. But thank be to God she has survived that first seizure. Maybe one day I'll have the time to tell you more about it. Thank you for asking, DEbi!!!
-
You are both in my prayers. Thanks so much for what you did say. Praying as soon as I send this.

I really thank you Debi!!!!
Comment from John Ciarmello
I had to give this a six, my sweet lady! We all know the answers to those poetic questions, and the answer is yes to all.
Your healing words and praise for others here, I'm sure, carry forward in the life you live that we never get to see, but know exists.
Best, JohnC

John, as always you are so incredibly sweet. I thank you for your kind words for my poem. It is my pretty much my checklist of what I do when I start thinking I have it all under control. Then I realized I am using way too many I s. That is when I know I need another check up. Also, thanks so much for the gracious gift of six stars. So appreciated, my very dear friend.
Comment from Mary Vigasin
Congratulations on your win. It is certainly deserving with this moving poem both in words and presentation. The words seem to come from within your heart and soul. You are searching within for answers rather than preaching.
I can tell you from my standpoint, you have been good enough as a kind hearted person (and writer.)

Mary, as always you are so incredibly sweet. Thanks for catching that it was not preaching in anyway, as I do fall short quite often, but try to ask forgiveness. Sometimes I actually feel bad for my husband if I am not feeling well, and I snap at him. I alway make sure to say I am sorry tho, and then forgive myself easier.

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This is such a beautiful poem it made me cry. I am so happy to see you received all the awards. I do hope you have many years before this time comes to pass. I understand you have Covid and I am praying for you.

Oh Wow Carol. I take that as a huge compliment and can't tell you how touched I am. I hope they were healing tears. Those are my favorite as I get emotional over everything.

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
Debi, I truly believe this is the best thing I've ever read from you. It seems perfectly penned, and your introspective look at your life, broken down one day at a time, causes me to wonder the same as you.
Congratulations on your win - well deserved!

Beautifully crafted, my friend. I thank God every day for Jesus, and I thank Jesus for his sacrifice. It is a powerful piece; I hope this reaches many readers, and I am proud it won the contest. I am left with the best feeling after reading this.
God bless,

Hi there Steve, Oh my goodness, I can't thank you enough for your lovely comments for my question poem. These have been like a checklist that I do for myself so I don't lose sight that I am a sinner and only human. No, not easy for anyone. I always try to remember that whenever I feel I have it under control, that is when I know that I am in trouble and time for a check up again. I also appreciate so much your gracious six stars.
Thanks again, Steve. Your kindness made my day!! Hugs. Debi

That's the key when you think you've got it under control. Lord knows I don't, but it doesn't stop me from trying. The pleasure was all mine.
Comment from Chrysanthemum.
I think you did a good job writing a poem that encapsulates the existential crisis many of us have. Have we led good lives? Did we do what we meant to or what we were meant to do?

Comment from TPAC
Super read. You're a poetic. And you should know that. I found this a very calming read. Many questions for its reader to ponder and consider about their well being. I, personally, loved that pause and gentle manner this was conveyed.

Comment from Jacob1395
This is quite an emotive piece, I think a lot of these will tend to think of these things, the older we get. A really well written piece, I enjoyed reading it. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This is a wonderful poem as we reflect on our life and question ourselves about how we acted and whether it was good or bad. This self examination means the person cares about others in life. A fine post for the contest, love Dolly x x x
