~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I doth heartily believe there is the one-- a person whom I believe makes me complete, the one who guides me to my place in the sun, the one who supports me when facing defeat. You’re the one who’s lit up my being, my soul. You and your love hath perfected me, made me whole. You have seen my ups and cared when I was low. You are my angel; I just need you to know.

Dear sara, I’ve tried this form couple of times before and i just love how youv written yours. You do forms with rhymes also effortless ensuring your lines flow seamlessly and with not just exquisite word weaving but heartfelt emotions. I lovee so many lines in this especially “ You’re the one who’s lit up my being, my soul. You and your love hath perfected me, made me whole.“ i see in you a grateful soul; one that appreciates those angelic souls that lift u up! You are rare and precious

So sweet and a tribute to a woman. That is try what rispetto was meant for. ( Or for anyone in fact)

Dear Sara, your poetry is a lovely expression of love that I truly like. Your elegant phrases and excellent use of form reflect a high level of comprehension and insight. It is clear that there are many good people in the world, yet they are frequently overlooked or exploited. Your poetry flows effortlessly, and your word choice is great, as usual.

thanks, dearest Sotto, for your gracious and kind comments. I'm grateful you found my phrasing elegant and insightful. I agree, many kind and generous people are overlooked or exploited. Yet, I believe many of those kind people would rather err on the side of kindness than give up their authenticity. Grateful for your visit and encouragement. Enjoy your evening, your poetess friend in Texas, Sara

aww this is so beautiful and you did this form so well.. I think the world is full of human angels, but they hide as many take advantage of them... Your poem flows really well and the word choices are on point, as always..

thank you sincerely for your gracious and complimentary words. I agree, the world is full of angels. I subscribe a magazine titled "Angels on Earth." I love the inspirational stories. Thanks for saying my poem flows...I struggled with that a bit. Appreciate your visit, Silent One. Have a great evening, Sara
