My dear friend, thank you so much for this beautiful prayer-poem, I'm just sorry I have taken so long to tell you how much I appreciated this, and all the prayers everyone said on my behalf. I sincerely believe they were what helped me through. I am seeing the asthma specialist tomorrow, and I have the nurse coming to see me every other day while I'm trying to keep my asthma under control. I am getting better, more so since I've been home and can rest better. It's not easy in hospital being woken at all hours of the night.

Helen, you have been such a lovely friend, you have no idea how much I love you for all you've done. Not only for me, but for the many others you've called for prayers for. Thank you. ð?¥°xxx Love and hugs, Sandra xxx

Oh Sandra, I didn't expect you to go back to review this. It was more a call to prayer and I hope you saw how much you are loved! Appreciate the generous stars but I really wasn't expecting a review. Hugs and blessings of good health and prayers for control over the asthma! 💖🙏

This is a most loving Rondelet for Sandra. Our thoughts are with her as we await her return home to home and also FanStory.

I particularly felt this:

In You all griefs and pains bestowed
so she can breathe and fully rest

Very nicely done, Helen. A most thoughtful verse for a good friend.

Many thanks for sharing.

Poor Sandra, she lost her brother and now she is so sick. I will definitely pray for her.

Your Rondelet is beautiful. It sounds great when I read it outloud...almost like a song. The rhymes are not forced and flow well.

I love it! The presentation is beautiful too and the message is heartfelt.

Love you, big sister,

Marival

This rondelet, Prayer for Sandra, has the proper formatting and certainly needs to lift sorrow's load from her lungs as she I'm sure is stymied with this affliction.

Thank you for the super six stars, Bill. I knew she had asthma but to have that and pneumonia plus the grieving over Ian's death. It's all too much. But you and Kathy are going through a tough time. We're praying for you both. Hugs!!

Thank you so much, Santha! Appreciate your prayers. No, I could not convince my mom to come. She thinks 70 degrees is too cold and it's in the 30's here. Sigh.
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas. Please keep safe and healthy! Hugs!

Oh no... I did not know this ... so thank you so very much for sharing.
Grief is such a terrible thing and yes the lungs can hold it tight.
I really hope that all the many beautiful prayers will heal her quickly.
Just knowing that there are so many wishing her well will lift her spirits!

Oh, Helen, this is exquisite. I wish I could rate it as it so deserves but I have no sixes left this week! I will take comfort in knowing that Sandra will be so uplifted by this beautiful poem/prayer. I join you in praying for a swift recovery!

Thank you so much, Dawn. The virtual six is appreciated but the real goal was to raise up prayers for Sandra. So many are hurting right now. Hugs and blessings on your Christmas!

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry to hear that about Sandra! Love and prayers her way!
I hadn't heard that about grief being held in our lungs, but it certainly makes sense.

Thank you for sharing her condition with your beautiful poem!

Much love,
Rhonda
