Your questions are tough ones, and perhaps in time, there will come some answers. I liked your innocent direct approach in your letter to God. Sometimes, it is a good thing to just let the words flow. Perhaps you will not be favoured with answer, but at least you asked. For now, we can but see through the glass darkly.

Well, as you can see here, I never stop asking questions. Some are answered. some not yet at least. Even when we know that, we still ask.
Thanks for sharing your comments on this special poem, 2Flower.

Comment from nora arjuna
Dear Pupa. I can't even start saying that I know how you feel, cause honestly I don't. I haven't lost anyone in my life - anyone that we're not ready to let go. Maybe a little bit of what you've gone through when I lost my 3-yr-old son for more than an hour at a busy bus station. To this day, I still thank God for returning him to me.

You know arjuna, when we think "Oh I would never survive such tragedies others have gone through" and then you just have to!! I wouldn't imagine surviving without the loving and helping hands of God, that is for sure. Thank God I am a believer.
Thanks for your heartfelt and emotional review, I appreciate it very mcuh.

Pupa
Comment from writerjen
You have suffered alot, but your writing is totally free of bitterness or anger that is very powerful. Written from the heart, but not mushy. No suggestions for change. Keep up the good work.

Comment from angel of the quill
Any one would wonder
and have questions
I personally see you as a lovely person
with strength
and strong wings to fly to do what you need
this was a lovely work today
almost a prayer and yet it still was a letter
great work

Thanks for sharing your pain. I, too, lost a son and it is so hard, but to face such a loss alone must be really hard. God bless you for your strenght.
Your poem is a wonderful reflection of your faith and growth in faith. You did a good job. Thanks again for sharing your feelings.

Sorry to hear about your loss Jean, and it was quite recent too. May God give you all the stength you need. At least we have faith to lean on, what do other non-believers do, I wonder.
Thanks for your heartfelt review and sharing with me your tragedy too.

Comment from Winslow
Dear Pupa,
This is a heart warming but also heart renting verse all in one. It has subdued joy but than sadness intrudes. You have written a powerful letter to our Lord.
God Bless,
Winslow

Comment from Eleiece K.
I can so identify with you, because, I, too lost my beloved husband, Jay; it will be 6 years come December. How well I recall asking those same questions. Only with the passage of time and far more, through my faith in God and that He knows what's best, has the pain at last faded to a faint echo that's easier to deal with as I, too, wait upon His time.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Best regards,
Eleiece K.

I am so sorry for your loss, without faith I wouldn't have survived and I always wonder where non-believers would get their strength from, if not from God?
Thanks for your insightful review, Eleiece.

Comment from boberto
Hi Pupa, I like this "confession". A well crafted word
picture of complex emotions. I do have----it's not a nit----or dislike---it's technical, flow and understanding---
It took me long years to open my heart to You, to pour
the warm flow of peace I never knew existed before.
To my questions, I find comforting answers, placed
within Your blessings, helping all doubts to be erased.
It took me long years to open my heart to You, to pour
the warm flow of peace I never knew existed before.
The first part of this up to the comma, would be a complete sentence by itself. The rest of it, would not. Left together, it is not. I think I know what you want to say.
It took me long years to open my heart to You, SO THAT THE WARM PEACE I'VE NEVER KNOWN CAN BE POURED IN.
Think about it.
Rob

I know that "so that" would correct it, that is what is missing as you suggested. I'll try again, if this is wrong too.
Please let me know.

Pupa
Rob,
Thanks for your support, please tell me what you think of that??

Much better love. I like it---it is meaningful. As I wrote, a confession from, and with the heart. I believe that His' and others' love will come to you. BUT, it is still important for you to believe and love yourself first.
Hey, did you vote for me.
Love ya,
Rob

Love.Pupa

Pupa---I don't know why, and it's probably none of my business, but you are whipping yourself. I know it isn't easy sometimes to look in the mirror and say, I'm OK --I'm me and I am damn glad/proud of it.
My daughter was georeous---body, looks, talent, everything---could have been a model, whatever---no self image---ODed at 14 in Tehran. Survived (tell you how sometime), but it is been downhill since. Nearly an unbearable burden--both emotionally and financially. I don't why she has no self image--I paid a furtune to find ot----so I know it is not easy.
I also know it's not easy, because I have had my own battles--won some, lost some. But, I built a big chip on my shoulder and I fought to keep it there.
Get those bootstraps up. Feeling sorry ain't feeling good.
Love,
one who knows.

Hi PUPA,
I know that losing 2 close family members has had to be so hard for you and you have expressed yourself beautifully. You are also right, wait patiently and keep praying and your answers will come. The art and color scheme are excellent as is your very well written poem. Thank you for sharing this part of your life. God bless and best wishes!
