I really really like this! I didn't know it was an acrostic until I looked up at your form. This is really lovely. Congratulations on a well deserved placement in this contest!

great opening line, haven 'til heaven. That is what it should be for everyone, a heavenly haven away from eath's travails. Too bad it is just the opposite for many who are abused in this world. Thanks so much for what you said about my latest sonnet. LUv, andrea
