Pharp: I stopped by to say thanks for the great review! I like your naani.
When I was in depression with my Dad's death, I reached inside my heart and
found God. Then, I started seeing visions and hearing God's voice. My novel,
"What are you waiting for?" is about accepting Jesus as Lord. Yes, I'm at 40,000 words and hope to be done before Thanksgiving! soli deo Gloria! God bless you and have a blessed, divine supper with your precious family in Christ!

Comment from tfawcus
A poem that exemplifies the dangers of living a life in which oneself is placed at the centre of the world. Selfishness is self-defeating. One cannot turn the eye inwards all the time if one wishes to look outwards and connect with the rest of humanity.

Wonderful, a lesson in style and a joy to the poetic thirst that awaken whenever I open your post. Pride is an enemy of all 6the values Christ lays at our hearts and grows in our spirits.

Comment from Irish Rain
How true!!! I never thought of it like that. But usually when I feel quite empty of Christ, it's because I'm too full of ME! Wonderful Naani Miss Portia!!! Speaks to me today! Blessings....

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written Naani. We are our best friend. When we cannot get along with ourselves we will probably not get along with anyone else.

Comment from Pantygynt
Pride is one of those awkward things that can be viewed both as a plus and a minus. We are exhorted to take pride in our work. It is apparently fine to be proud of our children's achievements and indeed of our own. It is pride in ones country that prevents the prisoner of war from giving away his country's secrets.
And yet it is also a deadly sin.
I have always thought that strange.

Comment from Bucketlist
How true your Naani. The saying ' Pride goes before a fall' could be a precursor to your poem. I like the introspection you use. It's a new style for me, but I enjoyed It.

Comment from Lu Saluna
This is a well written poem and a powerful message indeed.
You need to check your syllable count, you have one syllable too many, the maximum for a Naani is 25 and you have 26 syllables.
If you fix it up you have a good shot in the contest, best of luck to you.

Lu,
Out of everyone who reviewed this poem your are the only one who caught the error. Thank you for a thorough and kind review. I came in third place in the contest with the syllable count of 26. I have contacted the person who created this contest to let them know that I did not deserve the win as I did not comply with the requirements. Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention. Blessings.........................Portia

That is very honest of you indeed but I think you do deserve the honour all the same.
I am going to send you a link via email that I think will help you.

This is a very nice poem. The choice of words are clear and the topic is an important one. More people should take this too heart. Very good.
