Yes, you have, always been a joy with your bright outlook in life, lifting instead of pulling, optimizing your life while minimizing others mistakes, doing unto others as you would have them do to you. Tom H

Oh Tom, I want to reach through my iPad and give my virtual big brother a big kiss! I love that you are always there with caring words or a way to make me laugh. One way or another, you my sweet friend are healing. I just love you to pieces and I have no problem saying it. After all, since I first got here we hit if off like brother/sister. I have some of the best memories with you my sweet friend. Pardon my sensitivity. I have a hard time holding back with certain people. Thanks again for the best review ever!

I cannot tell a lie. Washington and I hung together before he became President, and I was there when he did in fact slay the cherry tree, at a BSA jamboree. tee-hee

Aha I'm telling mom!
Comment from Paul McFarland
Well done, Debi. The color change with the font was very effective. I might have changed the meter with the color change, but you are fine. The first stanza is outstanding.

Hi Paul, I thought of doing that but was worried about too many changes between the stanzas, but maybe will try that next time. Thanks for such kind comments and suggestions, as they are always welcome.
Comment from Carol Clark2
I like the merging of two rhyme patterns in this poem. You've enumerated many of the difficulties that people face on a regular basis. God, family, and friends are always there to help, thankfully. Kenzie's artwork is lovely. Blessings. Carol

Your poem is wonderfully written; it looks like you wrote a negative verse and then gave a positive result (answer). What a great idea. Different rhyme patterns and colored print.

Comment from Jessica Wheeler
I guess talent is just in your DNA! Your granddaughter's artwork is stunning! As is this lovely poem, my friend. Thank you for sharing, my daughter had a couple of tough days at school last week. Mainly your typical 4th grade woes- but she is anxious about tomorrow. Her and I try and share poetry that we've either found or written ourselves at bed time (mommy's little poet) I think your words of positivity, bright side and faith here would make for a perfect share tonight!! If you don't mind, of course. Wonderful read, as always!

Awe Jessica, speaking of DNA, you must have an Angel for a little girl, as her mom is sure one. I love that you do poetry with her, as my mother used to do that with me and now I do it with my grand babes. I will say one line, than they do the next. That is why I tend to do so many Dr Seuss type kids poems. I cannot tell you how much Joy you have given me since we met, and I am not sure how you could be any sweeter. I have just said a prayer for her and will say another one tonight, that her day will be better tomorrow. There is no greater pain than seeing one of our children hurting. And I would love if you be honored if you shared the poem with her. I love children so much that they are my favorite thing to write about and for.
Thank you so much for your very kind comments and gift of six stars for this poem. You have no idea how much it means to me. Much appreciated my sweet friend! Please let me know how your title Angel poet does tomorrow.

I loved reading your beautiful uplifting poem. Thank you for the uplifting comments. You are right, we need to put God and family first. You did a great job with your poem of alternating the abab rhymes with aabb. I like your merry-go-round style of poetry. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from lyenochka
Thank you so much for the uplifting comments, Debi! Yes! You are right that we need to put God and family first as that would help put things into perspective. Love your new poetic form of alternating the abab rhymes with aabb which the rispetto poetic form does with only two quatrains. Yours has more. Your poem feels more like a see-saw than a merry-go-round as there are the downs of life but the ups of holding on to God's Hand.

Comment from Janet Foor
I too like that motto, "original or not". It's a great way to live. Most days, it works for me. My latest poem is not as upbeat but it ends well. ð???
I liked your Granddaughter's art. Sweet and unique.
Good idea, merry-go-rhyme poem. Maybe it will catch on.
Nicely done Debi
Blessings
Janet

Comment from karenina
Interesting name for your format! Your alternating abab and aabb stanzas work well here, as does the different color font--particularly as you seem to be "answering" the dilemma presented with your "on the bright side" responses.
It's not always easy to see those silver linings ~ but thanks for reminding us all that they are there!
I'm sure you'll do well int his contest, Debi!

I like your merry-go-round style of poetry. The rhyming scheme is easy to follow and makes for a delightful read. Your poem rhymed, made sense, Was spiritual, and had a positive message. Very nice job. Good luck in the contest.
