I have to come back to this for tears in my eyes. I have bookmarked this. What a strong faith and a good cause here. I am speechless at the moment as this all hits close to home to me.

Blessings to you and the familia

I saw the title if this and had to read as this is one of my themes. I would change the 6th line to 'I learned with amaze to strengthen the rhyme. You have a lot of really good info in your Author notes, which unfortunately many people do not read. I would write that as a short story to get more to read it Just my thoughts!!! Debbie

While your poem has good rhyme (most) and meter, it doesn't have much substance; it doesn't tell the reader anything. It needs some improvement.

Just beyond the moss,/was the ground I thought I loss (should be 'lost'). (loss sounds like a forced rhyme, and it doesn't make much sense here)

It is different angle as we see our sight. It requires the philosophycal reasoning how we can write about. When it is not our sight then it is rhyme for the repeated words. The beyond makes the sound repeated so it appeals more love for us. This beyond have the both meaning for rhyme and sight of angle. We can create a lot of poem but it is hard to make the strucuture for the new poem.
