Comment from Gail Denham
Beautiful and just the cure for despair. Isn't that the way we feel better. I've noticed that my aches and pains flee for a time when I'm watching an engrossing TV show or reading a good book. And of course when we spend time with the grandchildren.
Such a nice poem in many ways.

Doggone it! I don't have a six star when I want one. This poem of yours is a sixer if there ever was one. This would make a great bookmark or card to send to someone who was down in spirit. Great job!

Often we will miss the joys of life when we fail to see hear and give to others, I enjoyed this poem as it speaks to my heart.

Thank you very much, Patricia. Yes, I believe these good things God put into our lives are there to rescue us from despair. If only we would recognize them.

Happy Tuesday to you Sally. I enjoyed your little diddy, I found it very relatable. There are many days where I feel exactly the same way my only difference is as much as I say goodbye to despair, it is always there in the background watching over my shoulder.

Thank you so much for the lovely review and honest feedback, dear poet. I find that despair is always an option when things get tough and for me, that?s quite a bit. But if I look upon my God and the good things He has surrounded me with, despair leaves and my hope is restored. Sending you my best today as always,
Sally :+)

Dear D, thank you. I am so glad you enjoyed my antidepressant poem. It really works when I notice all the things God has surrounded me with that are good, right, lovely, and worthy of my attention. It helps me in my difficult times.
Your outstanding review and six stars mean so much. Thank you, again.

Comment from Carla Trinklein
What a beautiful poem about choosing happiness! Such a difficult thing to do in some circumstances, but an important one all the same. This is lovely. It almost seems it should be given a melody and sing.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about despair that can make us feel sorry for ourselves and until we decide to say goodbye to despair and try to make others feel happy and share in their happiness.

Saying goodbye to despair is a very interesting idea. Reading such a hopeful piece of writing makes me believe I can just say goodbye to despair as well. Thank you for sharing this.
