I voted for your acrostic but didn't have time to review it previously. I am so pleased to see it is you, Wendy!
Your words are wise, with a lot of empathy for others in many aspects of things they might be going through. Being an encouraging presence in someone's life can be so important.

Thanks so much Jenny. I scribbled it down while David was driving, for something to do on a long stretch. It?s hard to post with only an iPhone. Didn?t expect a win. Thank you for your vote! And also for your lovely review. Should be home tonight. About 2500 km.

It was an inspired scribble!
Those Aussie distances are daunting.

Excellent entry for the Another Acrostic poem writing prompt contest. Good job following the contest rules. Nice presentation... writing the first letter in blue really helps.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
This is beautiful! Some of the most compassionate words anyone can speak. I loved your poem and if I had to guess, I would say that you work in the healthcare system? Lovely flowers added to the beauty of the poem. Wonderful job!

Thank you so much. A lovely review, very encouraging! I was a teacher, but have had a fair bit to do with health as we fostered (long term) a severely disabled boy.
Comment from Rosemary Everson1
This is a lovely poem of encouragement. We do need to encourage and make sure that life goes on even after passing. But this past week has been many days of quietness after a tragedy in a nearby town. When there is a tragedy, it is rather difficult to find kindness toward the suspect. How can we find forgiveness?

I am so sorry to hear of this tragedy. Encouragement to keep going and to keep supporting one another through this difficult time becomes even more important. Thanks so much gif reviewing. Much appreciated.
Comment from Beri Bee
ENCOURAGE is a beautiful choice for this acrostic that's not too preachy, but reminds us of all the best things we can do and be to live in a world where love truly is the answer. Thanks!

Comment from Anne Johnston
This is a beautiful acrostic poem - Encourage. You have chosen some great words to express how we should love and lift up those around us. As we encourage others, we will feel encouraged ourselves.

This is such great advice, and written with such grace. I am very tempted to print it out and pin it to my ideas / thoughts noticeboard at the side of my desk. I could happily read it every morning.

What a lovely compliment. Such an encouraging and thoughtful review. I appreciate your words a great deal.
Comment from Sarah Tummey
You've skilfully spelt out the title. I like that. I don't know whether you could have fitted this into the poem, but what about talking through the person's faults/mistakes and giving them ideas of how they might handle the same thing next time? I'd say that could be encouraging too.

Being an acrostic is limiting lengthwise and every line has to support the title. Thanks however for your thoughts.

A beautiful theme to live by. We all need to strive to encourage & lift up all those around us, to give them the strength to get through the next moments or endure the burdens that weigh them down. May God continue to bless you & your writing in the days & years to come.
