Wow... beautiful write...

"Winds of change blow once more"

^^ starting each stanza with it has added more beauty to the poem...

how you described the different stages - from childood to motherhood to death - is excellent..and very touching also...

"Winds of change blow once more
Motherhood she embraced
Filling a heart with unknown love
Finding herself in one small face"

^^the last two lines are so beautiful... Motherhood is one the best part of a women's life ... its so very well described...

"Winds of change blow once more
Life left shattered all alone
True love taken away too soon
Names engraved upon a stone"

^^ this is so touching...
'Names engraved upon a stone'
^^ very hearfelt...

An absolutely touching piece of poetry. brilliantly penned, amazing wording and rhyme.

Winds of change blow once more
Glimpses of future hopes and dreams
True love opens her heart to heal
Happiness hers again it seems

Winds of change blow once more
Motherhood she embraced
Filling a heart with unknown love
Finding herself in one small face

Motherhood she embraced
Filling a heart with unknown love
Finding herself in one small face

These lines stood out for me, Cindy. Like you, I love my son to bits too:)
A very beautiful poem, my sweet girlfriend.

Love, always

First Cindy...congrats on placing in the conyest! You know I told you when you read it to me that it was a winner!

I love how the winds of change blow through each verse with the perfect flow of the circle of life....

"Winds of change blow once more
Motherhood she embraced
Filling a heart with unknown love
Finding herself in one small face"

^So precious that love of a mother for a child....this is so perfectly worded....that unknown love that sweeps in so unexpectedly to a young mother's heart....

"Winds of change blow once more
Life left shattered all alone
True love taken away too soon
Names engraved upon a stone"

^ and as the winds of change blow....so the circle of life closes to completion...such a sad verse....the imagery is heartbreaking.....

"Winds of change blow once more
For each death a new life starts
Hers has come full circle
New memories filling hearts"

^ and the circle completes to only begin again!

One of your best! Nicely done! Debbie

Exposing year's painful trails

Oh this poem such a sad poem... i know the truth u are facing in your life. without ur husband it is so difficult to accept joys of life...

sometime i think your most poems about your husband.. you write for him becoz u love him..

but you know first time i felt that your this poem is about you... i saw the reflection of your sorrows in your this poem.. maybe while writing this poem you were thinking about your sorrows....

the sorrows. that still burn inside you.... the grieves. that still hurt inside you... such a sad poem...

sometimes... somewhere. you are so alone... i know.. im so sad..

Winds of change blow once more
Her heart tells her the end is near
Time to release all life's pain
She weeps for those held dear

Good luck Cindy,
Aish

I loved how you portrayed life in this poem: every stanza a different picture which I can relate to in so many ways.

Winds of change blow once more
For each death a new life starts
Hers has come full circle
New memories filling hearts

Loved the way you chose to end the poem......accepting the inevitable with hope of a new life.

Hello Miss C,

The beginning brings in the succeeding verses very well: it seems to be, nay, is reminiscent of having your head in the clouds as thoughts are "swirling on a breeze" on every occasion the "winds of change blow once more." It prompts a mental image of an aged woman lingering at the patio, which overlooks the ambient area, while musing over the course of her lifetime every time the breeze sweeps past her.

"Winds of change blow once more
Glimpses of future hopes and dreams
True love opens her heart to heal
Happiness hers again it seems"

Love, in essence, never fails to amaze me. Thanks to its lasting influence on the human race, having a purposeful life on Earth is feasible.

"Winds of change blow once more
Her heart tells her the end is near
Time to release all life's pain
She weeps for those held dear"

As I come across this verse, my heart wrenches in pain due to the viable truth of life being a constant change. (I just want you to know, Miss C--and I hope I'm not being ridiculous--that, even though I have never met you in the flesh... I love you!)

As the "Winds of change blow once more.........", the ending--laying emphasis on the continuity of life--ultimately blows me away.
It is a very engaging read, to conclude.

Love,
Debbie
