Hi Debi, this lovely and deep poem came from your heart. It is so true we can't appreciate the positive if we don't experience the negative. I'm glad you're finding strength and peace from your faith.
Yes, Fanstory is a safe place to share our thoughts. I loved your poem. Ullaxx

Hi Ulla, I thank you you so much. When I see you wonderful friends, continuously being there for each other, it is hard to hold the tears back. I thank God every day for sending you all to me. I can't think of more fulfillment in this life than what he rewards us with daily here. Thank you for being one of those great rewards, my dear friend.
Comment from Verna Cole Mitchell
Debi, Your beautiful heart shines in your poetry. I'm thankful for you and how you show Christian virtues in your life, most of all the great love you have for God and for people. You are so right about encouraging each other and not tearing down another's writing. God bless you, my sweet friend.

Comment from Mary Vigasin
A poem written from your heart. I find FS is a home that is a safe haven to write about their pain and troubles and find comfort within to help heal.
Beautifully written and stated.
Best wishes,
Mary

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Nice image and presentation, Debi.
-An excellent poem that comes from deep in your heart.
-You are usually writing about others, but here you
open up about yourself including struggles and wishing others happiness.
-I can see why it brings you joy to help lift up others. When we go through things ourselves and come out of it, it gives us a new perspective.
-Things are possible that we never thought were.
-I agree with you that "kindness is essential."
-I also like your line about sprinkling "love and peace, on top of each rainbow," as well as the one about not appreciating "the white, if we don't see the black."
-You have a very good concluding verse, and I can understand why FanStory is important to you because it is to me, as well.
-We never know who we might be helping when we share.
-I hope his has helped you in your thought process and growth as a person, too. Have a great day and week ahead.

Hi Pam, I just remembered something about my mom, when she was alive, she would say wise things all the time that used to go way over my head. But now they make sense. Such as that she loved being a cheerleader because she could crawl onto the backs of others and before long, she knew who would support her and who would let her down. But once she got to the top, she could see how clear it was that some let themselves down by expecting the supporters to do all the work. Therefore when you have a wonderful family such as this, it is so important that we all have everyone's back. And it is true the sensitivity level can be different, we all need love and acceptance, even bullies. Sorry, just had to share that w you. Thanks for always being one of those always supporting others. You are such a dear friend.
Thanks for the great comments and six stars too!

You are very welcome and deserving of the stars and review, Debi, and thanks for sharing about your mom. You are a good friend, too.
Comment from dragonpoet
Hi Debi,
This is a short rhyming auto biography that rhymes well and shows how much you have overcome and how faith changes things and lets you enjoy the good and get through the bad.
I think the one mistake I found it forfeiting all my strong is grammatically incorrect. strong should be strength which wouldn't rhyme. Maybe change it to I must try to stay strong.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Joan

Comment from Jim Wile
Oh, you are so right about this, Debi. It is like a second family here. I never realized when I joined that it was going to be like this with so many new "family members" who I've come to love and respect.
This was a lovely poem that rhymes and flows perfectly. Even though there may be a few childish ones in the family who need scolding once in a while, it sure does feel like we have each other's backs. You've so well pointed out what a terrific experience this is here among this family. Jim

Comment from Mario PIERRE
Very touching poem. One can feel it comes from a heart that once bled, but now is healed. There's nothing like mutual love and respect, and the good in everyone will flow.
I felt very humbled by your poem, Debi.
Thank you for sharing this!!!

Comment from Jennifer Keeley
Excellent entry. I'm a fan of rhyme and you used it, but in a creative way. It wasn't just end-rhymes...well it wasð???, but it was a deeper story/meaning behind your poem and it all flowed together. Encouaging and light-hearted!

Kay, lol, I feel like I keep singing the Coke commercial as a thank you, and in a way I am, but it is so strongly what I need to say. You are detrimental as one who gives more than what you ask for in return, but it goes both ways girlfriend. Don't ever forget that I am here for you too,. You sensed that I had more to tell, and when I have a little more info, I will open up, ok? For now tho, I thank you you so much. And also for the lovely six stars that I am honored by. When I see you wonderful friends, continuously being there for each other, it is hard to hold the tears back. I thank God every day for sending you all to me.

Debi, I live alone with my best friend Benny the poodle. I work for the Lord on this site. Yes, I know it works both ways, it is very lonely here. I am looking up at a nursing home. Don't know how long I can last. All family have past. No siblings. FS is my family. Big hugs coming your way. K xx

Debbie, I love this poem. It is so wise and insightful and heartfelt. I love this second family as well and you're right...we do have each other's backs and that's what really counts.
A lovely poem.
