In these trying times, your poem is a refreshing reminder to "Keep Going". I am personally changing my world view from sad to happy. The phrase "Seek and you shall find" is so true. When I think back on my life now, I see that all the negative things that have happened in my life could have been prevented if I simply had a better attitude on life. Thanks for sharing and all the best in the contest.

I'm sad and happy at the same time. Sad for your family and happy that you fought through it. Mostly I'm proud of you. Great poem. It has everything.

Fred, thank you so much for your 'exceptional' review. Means so much to me. And thank you for your empathy for my family. I love them all dearly, but it is still sad for me. May sound small compared to all the world's woes, but we all have to take care for our own little corner, don't we. Again, thanks so much for your most generous review and very kind remarks. With warmest regards, Sue

If everyone took care of their own litle corner, we probably wouldn't have any world woes.

Fred, a very profound comment. This is SO true!!
I like your style :-))

In my view you have a poem that indeed tells how to embrace the light and stay in tune. Nice rhymes and it also has a delightful flow.
Good luck

This is so hopeful and beautiful. I really like it. It flows well too. I didn't see any grammar or spelling errors either. Nice work!

Sixteezkid, many of us have had to make the decision
to break the cycle of our parents' habits. You have
put it in poetic form nicely to remind us we have a
choice to follow their paths or to strike out on our
own journey of hope. Perhaps that's why lighthouses
are so popular.

Your poem has an important message, and you have delivered it well.
Negativity can be contagious. I'm glad you were able to move past it, whether consciously or unconsciously. I still struggle with that issue at times.
Well done.!

Your poem surly has a life lesson in it. I believe everyone here knows well what horrors await if they give up and fall. I've notice some of the grestest wrtiers and poets have brought themselves out of a hole that could have destroyed them, so your words have a great deal of meaning to many of us. They do for me. I hope the best for you in the contest you have given us some wise words to think about.

I like the positive attitude in this poem. I would have consider giving it a six if the site had let me. Your remind me of the negative in my life and how I strive to
do better.

You took the challenge by the horns and carried it off beautifully. This is a very well written piece that shows one can rise above their circumstances and create the kind of life they want and need. The ending couplet was excellent
