The Love Letter Lane Blog

I took this poem and entered it in Poetry.com's monthly poetry contest. Now I'm no poet, but I did win their editor's choice award... although I'm not real sure how many others (hundreds or thousands) won that same award. They did say I was in the top 12% of the thousands of entries.

Not too bad, I guess, for a first-time poet.

Take a look and vote for me if you like it.

You would have wide open prairies (your understanding) with lush green grass and patches of Wild Flowers everywhere (your easy nature and your beauty).

Although you sit under partly sunny skies, (your wonderful joy that's shaded by hardship), your summit allows a view of the horizon that is so clear and beautiful, (your optimism and hope endure), and...

On it you can almost see forever (your dreams coming true).

There is a strong tree (your husband) by a King-sized river (our source of strength and nourishment from God), that sustains you and your gardens (your children so beautiful and tender).

So wonderful and inviting that all who dwell there, rejoice! (Your family loves to be with you)
