Hi Jackie!
Loved your spiritual piece. It seems many of us have certain paths we wants to take, dreams we aspire to follow, and when we near the end of the road we reflect and wonder why those dreams never came true, and we never got what we wanted. I guess it went against God's plan and all we did have was what was meant to be ours x we need to accept our fate an appreciate that what we have was made for us and its OK that way.
"like a small fish in a giant see"- brilliant!
Amazing work:-) Really worth the six xx

Comment from Rondeno
Very, very nice. You use a loose verse form which is perfect for the doubtful, pondering tone of the poem. As a reviewer I, for one, can see a real growth in your sureness and self-belief.

Comment from adewpearl
good use of occasional rhyme
excellent use of enjambment to create flow
this is bound to resonate with many readers who also realize all their life's plans haven't fallen into place
a strong spiritual one

Comment from GarthL
There's many times in life when it all seems so confusing and no answers can be found that satisfy, no goals found that will elevate. I can feel the angst Jaq and pray you'll find the spark that will lift you out of the mire. You're a beautiful woman who will surely find the love that will relieve all. Well written outpouring from your heart mate, staystrong, Garth

Comment from teafor2
Jaq Cee--What a fast smooth free flowing teaching of a
bible lesson via angst and humble queries and request
by speaker. This all done while using excellent poetics:
Alliterations of F's; T's, S's and W's combine with mas-
culine rhymes along with title and artwork help to get scribe's point across. Consciously undertaken. teafor2

Comment from Earl of Oxford
Hi, Jaq.
Do you mean 'out OF my reach', or is this some sort of Jock phrase? :-)
I would de-capitalise 'Yet' and maybe delete all capitals and punctuation.
Maybe split last stanza after 'sea'.
Heartfelt message of frustration and maybe isolation - certainly feeling unloved and lonely.
Very sincerely and naturally written.
Most of us feel like this sometimes. At least you have your lovely daughter. You're a sweet lady who deserves more, and I'm sure will find it.
Cheers, Ray

No it was 'outwith my reach' I wanted. "outwith (Ë?aÊ?tË?wɪθ) â?? prep ( Scot ) outside; beyond"

what's with the Scots writing? LOL. I THINK I understand. :-) xx

Jeezo this site's capabilities are sometimes left wanting. :) Jaq xx

You could write a haiku using those site symbols and pretend they're Japanese. That should impress Alvin. Haha! xx

Hahahahaha I will try that one xx
