A lovely poem for Brooke and I hope will give her the inspiration to get well. I like your double meaning related in this poem, one could either look at it as the time of day or as the darkness in Brooke's life at the moment. A nice triolet. I hope I have interpreted this correctly. Well chosen words. cheers Christine

What a lovely photograph! This poem does offer hope and encouragement. Things may look dark to us, but there's always a ray of hope. The darkness can hide treasures, as you write. People do have to take the first step if they want to get better. Sometimes they have to do therapy or other things that require effort, but they help in the long run. Excellent word choices. judi

Hi Jannypan

I found this first before the counting poems in your profile. ;] A triolet was the first form Brooke inspired me to write ... because I loved hers so much. You've listened well to Miranda's note. She said Brooke would prefer to be encouraged to have the strength to face her challenge rather than pray for a 'cure'. You've achieved that here in this fine triolet. Great concept and presentation. Your emotions for Brooke and her recovery stand out clear. Hugs - Lovi xox

    Thank you o much. The first time I wrote this, I had the format upside down. I had a lot of revising to do. This is the final form. Jan

I like the first verse about "the beauty that will unfold as the light reflects to your eyes." The picture is very fitting for the poem also. The rhyme scheme works well also.

another beautiful rendition.

Sometimes I am not sure of the correct word.

I plan to follow all you write, and when time allows seek out past ones.

I am sure I enjoy your writing.

Lovely poem you've written for Brooke. I've haven't checked
into FS for about 2months. I'm sorry to know that Brooke
is having some kind of difficulty. I know with all the prayers we will say on her behalf, she will bring back her sunshine.

Hi Jan

I love this beautiful poem you have dedicated to Brooke.

the darkness before the sunrise
hides the beauty that will unfold

These two lines say it all.

Well written,
