Diana, This is a very beautiful and well written rhyming poem you have penned for your sister on this day. You used very loving words and beautiful imagery from the art work you chose too. I am so sorry for her loss. May God bless you both! love, Teri

    Thank you for you condolences. She has been able to meet someone who has helped to ease her paint, and so happy for that as her fella would not have wanted her to suffer all her life. xoxo

That picture helps to convey your sad message. Valentine's Day is a time to think of all of those who have lost loved ones in wartime. The bereaved woman in your poem is left with only memories of the service member she lost. May be find peace and may her loved one be remembered for his service. Excellent rhyme and flow, and best of luck in the contest. Great entry. judi

An "AWESOME" penning for the contest, Diana! "Astonishing" Art Work. Your Profile is "Extremely Impressive." A "SALUTE" for your service to God and Country...and my condolences on your sister's loss. This is most deserving of a six star; yet, I haven't any. Best wishes for a contest win and God Bless. Respectfully with Admiration, Bill

Thank you for yet another great Romanticist poem. As a bonus, you also honor the memory of those who died serving their country and those who are tragically left behind. A sweet heart tug. We'll done.

This is very sad Diana and I think many wives suffered like this during this war and wars in the past. Your touching words here are well rhymed and a great tribute to all war heroes, love Dolly x

What a meaningful poem. The image is just so gorgeous. Servicemen and servicewomen who have died and served our country, will be remembered by their families. Evidently your sister lost her husband. Sympathy.

    Thank you, it has been hard for her. He died in 2010, and finally, two years ago, she met someone who is helping her to heal. Appreciate your precious words. xoxo

This work has reached the exceptional level

A haunting and heartbreaking memory recall of a lost loved one,
conveyed ever so tenderly, pic scene so vividly capturing the
tremulous emotions of perpetual farewell of flowers that were
so preciously held, now laid on resting place below heavens
skies and earthly sod, in Lord's everlasting peace and rest. A
most misty eyed Valentine memoir and tribute expressed.
Thanks for sharing and consoling. Sincerest condolences
on the loss of your dearest sister. This is a keepsake tribute for her indeed.

(I lost 2 son's 18 months apart in Iraq war, thus this scene is
emotively familiar and relateable; as it is to so many others who
have lost loved ones in service to their country)
Best wishes, Ronni

    I'm so sorry to hear this about your son's. I can't imagine the pain of losing a child let alone 2 children. thank you for sharing that with me. My heart aches for you, my friend. It was actually my sister's boyfriend who was killed in Afghanistan and she mourned his loss for many years. Thankfully, she met someone about 2 years ago that has helped bring her back to life. Much love. xoxo

    Love, Ronni

    My heart goes out to those who experience such loss. My sister lost her boyfriend in 2010, and she was devastated for many years. She finally met someone about 2 years ago and seems to be moving on finally. War is a cruel thing. :(. Thanks for reading and appreciating. Hope you have a wonderful week! xoxo

This is so lovely and moving. Your well-written lines have conveyed a powerful message about love and the pain of losing someone to death. On special days like Valentine's Day, that pain, for some, is intensified.
