A Blessing Bestowed - Shanzi

And as I have seen God will provide more. Let's hope Mit doesn't get to make those decisions.

Congratulations on your win with this wonderful win Carolyn. Hope you will be able to post more soon. Love

Coming here to see the last poem you left before you stopped posting. A nice one, Carolyn. I sure miss you here. Keeping you in my prayers. Luv, Andrea

Oh this is wonderful Carolyn, it really says everything about today. with reading some comments i find you are again unwell," If i was Jesus you would be the first i would touch" you are so special.

The first stanza gives hope and the last is an enigma to be solved. A thoughtful verse Carolyn. Nice to be in touch again!

A little sadness to this one in that children are starving over the world but there is joy in a new one added to the family...Reads like winning material to me..Sara

beautiful piece, my friend - so glad to see you posting and entering contests

The sacrifices one makes for his/her family...the image of a curtain rising to represent life is profound...the last 3 lines show the depths of love..Best of luck in this difficult contest...Thinking of you and wonder how u are getting along...a huge hug and kisss! gwendolen

What an excellent write here Carolyn.I like how you ended this verse.Best wishes to you.

Nothing so amazing as birth and nothing so sad as a hungry child. You combine the two in such a small space to remind us it is a growing problem. P S Francine just told me the we both are July 1st girls so I'm shouting belated happy birthday to you dear Carolyn; hope you had a beautiful day and have a year full of hope. Love, Elizabeth

Dear Carolyn, This is stunning. Smiling and crying all at once. love, Kathy

Sounds like this family can't afford to have more children. A blessing in disguise, maybe? I posted one with you in mind today. Love, daver
