Nicely written and has a lovely flow of words. The poem sends a message to any who cares to listen. I see you are a horse lover too. Do you still have horses in your Life? I'm 75 and let my horses go a few years ago. I still miss having them around.

A fairy tale, which morphs into a hint of the well known Christmas story. I think if this were mine I would have tried to maintain the full rhyme in the final stanza, rather tan settling for assonance perhaps this way:

They whisper words of love to you
revealing only (the deepest truth) what is true
of life's battle(s) and (their stories) its story
wrapped in God's own radiant glory.

But it's your poem. Use this if you want to. It is entirely up to you.

You have very carefully constructed a literary visual In order to facilitate an increased understanding of the divine. When you say, "This is my girl", it sounds like you are sharing a personal loss and private pain with your readers. May we are follow the path that God lays out before us, using all of the aids he provides us. Thanks for sharing the grace of love from above.

    I really appreciate your review and the way you express your dedication to the Lord. The best expressions in writing come from deep, often dark, experiences but they bring the benefit of great blessings, too, in the long run.

Such elegant words and a beautiful poem. It flows so well, and you clearly have a good understanding of word usage and effect. My only thing (and it's small) was that I got a bit confused where you talk about your girl. I wasn't sure if this was meant literally or metaphorically or who the girl might be. In any case though, your poem is beautiful and very well done.

    Thank you so much for your review. The girl in question was someone I worked with. Her character was to reach out to others, taking the opportunity to always be there for them. Even though she had a lot of strengths, she also had weaknesses that could make it very difficult to work with her. However, it is clear that the Lord really loves her.

Love this poem. It reads very well and makes valid and interesting points. Almost telling a story. You have very good rhyming ability.

sarahice,

'The White Fairy' is a most pleasing poem with its sestet structure and aabbcc rhyming pattern. I'm glad I found this poem and would recommend it to others.
