Thank you Linda ... I know its long, but I had to say each line (lol) But seriously, the guidance of children seems to have gone by the wayside in some instances (even in my own family) so, this poem was a personal affirmation & meditation. Thanks again for reading the whole thing ... MoonBee

I like how you changed part two, the rhyming scheme worke very well with the flow of your message. It is good to see a woman of faith fighting for her children's lives. A mothers prayers have sustained many children's lives. This is a most excellent poem.

You're Right Richard, I often do change or inter-play thoughts in my poetry. And sometimes in sentences, I have to change completely the rhythm to get the poem back on a flowing track. And yes, if a mom doesn't fight for her children, then who will? Again, thank you Richard, for reading the whole thing. Its much appreciated. Poet Pal, MoonBee
