Stephen I absolutely loved this poem. I loved the inspiring tone I read it in because your words left me just that, inspired! I thoguht this was so uplifting and you did an excellent job writing it.

SUrprisingly, I loved the repitition. I usually hate it, but Im a fan of when its used in the opening and ending of poems. Really nice lines.

Your sorrows are present because
it's what you allow

^ this right here is what made the whole poem for me and its a topic that is really touchy with me and that I debate often with people. I don't think many people realize that life is full of choices and if you ALLOW yourself to be depressed or feel sorry, its not because life is crapping on you, its because your ALLOWING IT...such a true statement. I like that you werent in your face about it, but you backed it up with encouraging words on how to change it.

Very lovely write!!

It feels so serene and tranquil to read this piece. I loved the wording and the way you oainted those images of the surroundings.

Hmmm, but I have a suggestion. I think its better be posted under Nature. But then again the writer knows best :)

Keep it up Stephen!

Adored this!! ><

Such a very loving poem and I enjoyed every line. Also thought the repetition of the beginning at the end worked wonders for the poem and the power. Well done on this one, it is a pleasure to read.

This poem is so beautiful. One of the best nature poems I have read in this site. Well penned.
