Wow, Santha, how sweet of you to read this one now, and honor it with your six stars. I appreciate it more than I can say. Please don't beat yourself up over a little mood changes with pain, as I occasionally even throw myself a pity party when it gets bad enough and nothing seems to help. However, what I do different now, is I only invite Jesus to my party, because he won't let me stay long and always gets me home safely. Writing really does help because it is what I love and the best part is you and so many I look forward to seeing everyday here. The peace that comes with your happy place is priceless, don't you think? Thanks again for the wonderful comments and the six stars, my very dear friend.

Excellent philosophy contained in your four lines. The AAAA rhyme scheme works well here. Appreciate the additional notes, debi, and wish you luck in the contest.

Comment from w.j.debi
Okay, I reviewed this late last night and the review has disappeared, along with several others I did. So here goes again:
Before getting to the author notes, I thought what a positive way to look at things. I felt the message was upbeat and it made me feel good.
After reading the author notes, I was even more impressed. I did not know you have lupus. I have a neighbor that has it and I know she struggles with the pain. I am sure I don't know the half of it. I admire your positive outlook and how you pass it along to others.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and this positive poem.

Do you know why it disappeared Debi? Everyone's did. In fact last night you lost your whole portfolio and it was replaced with a silly W poem of mine called Wendy and Wayne's Wacky Wedding. I was posting it and all of a sudden, my poem was everywhere. In every name in the voting booth was my poem, everyone's portfolio and every post you ever did was that poem. It was horrifying. And as much as I knew it wasn't my fault it was bad enough to lose my work, but the thought of that happening to all my friends too, was earth shattering. I didn't even sleep. So now it couldn't be used in the blind contest that I was posting for because so many read it in there profiles and portfolios. Thank God Tom was able to fix it. So now I had to post it by itself and is no longer in the contest. What a horrible ordeal!!!
And for this one tho, I do thank you for doing it again and for all of your lovely comments.
-
Thank you for letting me know what happened. I?m doing my best to redo reviews, but not sure I will catch all of them.
-
That is horrible to have to redo. I thank you for taking the time for mine and others. You are so special! Hugs!
-
So sorry your poem cannot be in the blind contest.
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
This is an inspiring four line poem here that was a joy to read. I love your rhyming, Debi as well as the message to keep looking for that beauty in life which can come in so many different forms and can detract from the more negative thoughts that pain can produce. Well done and good luck! Debbie

Comment from Ginda Simpson
I loved reading your notes as much as reading the lines of your poem. Not always easy, but a good attitude and a satisfying activity such as writing are sure to lessen its effect on our minds, even when pain persists. Good for you, Debi. Keep writing.

Comment from jake cosmos aller
very powerful and moving poem. I can relate my friend. I broke my heel jogging in 1996 when I fell off a ledge in the dark. I spent almost a year in the hospital had 14 operations. As a result, I ended up developing fibromyalgia and arthritis. I have been living with constant pain since 1996. I did try some anti-inflammatory medicine but it did not seem to work. Acupuncture and massage help as does yoga. I recently tried CBD oil in my coffee and that seems to work wonders. I would recommend that.

Comment from Teri7
Debbie, This is a very well written Four Line poem you have penned for the contest. You used very good descriptive words and very nice imagery to go with your words. I know what pain feels like, with MS, but I also know the pain taker, Jesus Christ! If you are like me we have good days and other days that are more painful. I was on strong pain meds for many years and my husband took me off the strong meds cold turkey. I was not happy with him at the time, but today I am thankful because I only take ibuprofen when needed for pain. My doctors had told me my organs were going to shut down if I didn't stop taking those strong pain meds. I have a friend who has lupus also. It is not a nice disease either. I don't know of any nice diseases, but I know a wonderful and mighty God that can heal and free us from the devil and his evil attacks on God's children. I love you sweet dear friend and I will be praying for you. I am so thankful you write and always write from your big beautiful heart! I love you Debi but God loves you so much more!!!

Oh Teri, I know that lupus and MS are called sister diseases as they constantly alter our well being with pain destroying organs. I am sorry for what you have to go thru too, but you are right. Without Jesus, keeping a good attitude wouldn't be an option. So hang in there and so happy we are sisters in Christ.
I cannot thank you enough for this lovely review and comments. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. And then for you to honor me also with your six stars, I am so appreciative for it all. Thanks so very much, my dear friend.

Debi, We will always be great friends, but more importantly Sister in Christ! Forever and always! I love you and hope you have an amazing day today! love you always!!!
-
Thanks so much Sweetheart. I feel the exact same for you.
-
We are sister in Christ and friends forever and every! I love you sweet Debi always!

This short poem about coping with pain is wonderful. It fits the contest requirements easily. The rhyme was well done. The metaphor in the last line was encouraging and brave.
