Bravo! Your mother, it is obvious, was a very wise and giving individual. The living proof in a daughter who not only attests to her wisdom, but who, given the chance is sharing with the world, nuggets of wisdom that are valuable lessons that all should absorb and put into practice. This world would be so much better if people would just avail themselves of the wisdom that is available to any and all who desire it.

My dearest Nomi, you just couldn't be sweeter. I thank you so very much for your lovely review and kind words for my quote poem. And for the gracious six stars and complements for my mother. She would have liked my other brother. You are so appreciated, my dear friend!

I like the quotations you have included. I also like the way you personalized each one and reinterpreted it. Your mother sounds like a godly woman full of wisdom. Best wishes in the contest.

Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. I remember you sharing your mom being honored with us. She not only is a wonderful person, but she also gave birth to a wonderful daughter who we are blessed to have as a FanStory friend. Good luck with the contest.

Comment from Terry Broxson
Debi, this is really creative, as we have grown to expect from you. The creative parts are several. A rhyming poem that interprets the quote. The explanation of your view of the quotes in your note. And using your mother as a source. Excellent work. Terry.

Thanks Terry for such a kind review and comments. I appreciate it very much. Love your plaque. That is a wonderful place to put the picture of it.
I got mine a couple days ago too and it felt pretty good to receive that honor.
Thanks again for the awesome reactions to my poem.

Good luck!

Comment from Tom Horonzy
The greatest glory in living - is not dying. It was the first thought that came as I read your opening.
The piece is dyn-o-mi-tic, deserving of a six, perhaps not for grammar or structure but for the love you put into it. Talk about earing something on your sleeve. Well done. Enjoy your six stars.

Hi Tom,, this one is going to get framed and put on the wall. Well for sure in my folder that is marked my favorite reviews. Thank you a hundred times over for your very kind review and six stars on this one. I loved the prompt and would you believe that I heard from the CEC last night and told me if I didn't fix it they would disqualify me. I wrote back and told them that I followed the prompt to a T, but they had thought that I had too many lines of my interpretation. So I just got a pm from them saying that after looking at it again, it is fine...... thank you again my awesome friend!! Lol, what's wrong with my structure and grammar?? JK

Wrong? I didn?t say it was only that I like it so much I wasn?t considering either. Don?t read between the lines which was in my trilogy release this week. Have you read it?
-
No, but I am going to. Silly boy, I was just teasing you. I can't do that with almost anyone else. I have a silly or crazy bone that just wants to tease someone or have fun and the only ones I can do that to are you and my grandkids. Maybe a couple others, but that is why you and I get along so well. That is why I wrote JK, so you would know. And maybe you are pulling my leg now. Either way I do love you to pieces my dear friend and can't wait to go read your trilogy

You have chosen a very clever way to highlight and celebrate these words of wisdom. You have pondered with your heart and let them guide you in life and in writing. Nice job.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
You chose some unusual quotes here Debi and I enjoyed your interpretations. You have not chosen philosophers, but activists, writers and your own Mother. Good teachers are those hidden gems who rarely are rewarded.
Oprah Winfrey has made a living out of exploiting other people's emotions and displayed them on public TV. I'm not sure I agree with this kind of exploitation as it requires some unscrupulous exposing and manipulation, but people just love to find out other people's secrets.
I enjoyed your presentation, good luck with the contest, love Dolly x

A very nice post. Made extra special by the quote included in which your mom was honored as an "Act of Kindness Teacher" by none other than Oprah Winfrey. That makes this personal and very moving. Hats off to all great teachers, who do more for this world than most, as they mold our young ones into good citizens. Excellent entry Debi, and I'm sure you'll do very well indeed!

Hmmm. It read to me like her comments were very much directed at Oprha, not your mom. I've never known Dolly to intentionally harm anyone. I'd encourage you to PM her and have a dialogue about this, Debi.
-
Only Dolly can reassure you. I look at past behavior as prologue and truly cannot see her ever intending to belittle your Mom, Debi.
