Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Excellent entry for the Mother's Day--5-8-2022 writing prompt contest. You followed the rules well. Your poem moves along smoothly and clearly.
I know how you feel, I am bipolar and it was hard raising my kids. You figured it out. Well done.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Donna G. (aka Sam Duck)
I enjoyed the poem! Good for you, working hard to prove yourself. My heart cries for you, missing your own children's lives! I have my own faces of motherhood, but my journey was much different than yours. Good poem!

Like your poem. Mental illness happens to a family often. It is something that you never want to happen and thank God there is treatment out there for it. If there is abuse and violence, that can lead to stress; and if there is stress, there is anxiety. I will never judge someone who has had this illness because of that reason.

Hello Dovemarie I hope your day is going well. I liked your mother's day writing prompt entry. It was a well-written of ode to mother with a nice flow and rhyme scheme. Good job and good luck!

Comment from Carolyn Dooley
The picture is precious. And the story is heartfelt. I hate to hear about the things you had to encounter. The children loved you and trusted you. Children know who has a kind heart. One as yours. I enjoyed reading your story. Have a great day.

Even in times of unrest in your life, God put you where
you were needed, Dove. You did a great job with your
contest entry. I like the approach of the faces of motherhood.
Your lines are smooth with good rhymes.
Best wishes in the contest, Jan

Comment from R. Marc Goodson
A great Mom's Day poem. The rhyming is well done, as is the rhythm of the poem...sometimes people seem to do OK with the rhyming and then blow it with the rhythm. These types of poems require both. I wondered about this line, "Though as mother, she's been judged unfit", dropping out the 'been' might help the poem's pace (rhythm.)
