so sorry about your Mother. As for this acrostic- -I find nothing here to criticize. You have expressed well how important it is to live for the present- -all those past sorrows, worries have no place today- -that taking time to speak to the One Who Is and hope that should tomorrow come- -my life is today and I will live it the best I can--always looking to the 'brightness' of the day. Well done, well expressed and I think this is an excellent post for the contest.

Carol, your poem is magnificent. Your words reached off the screen and touched my heart. You have a gift for being able to articulate from the deepest realm of your soul and wrap a story in velvet. You are indeed a quintessential poetess who inspires and uplits her readers. My prayers are with you and your beautiful mother.

Talk about someone with a way with words...you burst like a ray of sunshine upon my day...Declaring me a poet...well, I was simply swept away. I read all these lofty, inspirational poems on this site and figure my meager offering has something to say, just not in the depths they offer. I sincerely appreciate you confidence booster. Thank you my friend....Sending smiles your way, Carol

Carol, you forget that the depth in found in your readers, and I for one, find your work par excellence.

Evocative! I knew exactly where you were coming from with this one. My mother, too, was diagnosed two years ago. Now in remission, every day is a search and seizure of blessings and positive thoughts. Very touching and thought provoking. Great work. Best wishes for you and your mom.

This is a very well written acrostic poem. It has very good imagery and descriptive scheme. One of these days there will be no more tomorrows. Good luck in your contest.

Comment from adewpearl
Once I held my sorrow tight, best friend instead of foe - that is one powerful line filled with such insightful observation about how many people truly live their lives - and the friend instead of foe also sounds so poetically beautiful.
Excellent cadence and rhyme, thoughtful observations - this all makes for a powerful acrostic poem! Brooke

Thank you so much...I never trust my abilities with poetry and it definite gives me a "feel good" moment when you say you enjoyed my acrostic poem. Thank you so much. CArol
Comment from kingskid
I really enjoyed this poem. I felt your pain throughout until you met your Lord. You are very descriptive and use your words well.
The line that says it all for me is:
"I found release from darkness within His love so true"
Very powerful and beautiful. Well done.
Blessings. kingskid

Thank you so much for enjoying my poem. I don't trust my abilities with poetry so it is great to hear your thoughts. Carol
Comment from findingmyroom
Your poem suits the form quite well in my humble opinion. You cover a lot of ground here, from surrender in depression, to gaining perspective when something devastating occurs. I have no suggestions to Make!

Wow...I appreciate the comments. I have little faith in my abilities when it comes to poetry so I greatly appreciate the encouragement. Carol
Comment from hilda_ann
An excellent poem with so much meaning and such a wonderful message. We can all take our lives so much for granted at times but this piece really brings it home to you how precious life is. A great read and I don't think that you slaughtered its construction. Good luck in the contest and best wishes to your Mum.

Comment from AnnaLinda
BeginAgain,
I only wish that I had six stars for this one! I am so very sorry to hear of your mother's diagnosis. This poem that you have created out of your pain, is so very heartfelt and so very outstanding! Within your perfect reflective thoughts, you have managed to have perfect rhyme!
Your faith shines through like a brilliant star!
This line stood out for me: "This dark knight sorrow, whom I'd held so very dear," .. I also liked your ending line, full of optimism, for today s truly all we really have.

As you know I can't review the construction of the poem but it seemed well written to me. I really think you are a natural at poetry.
