Each day when all seems lost,
And heartache seems to be all you know.
When your tears forever flow,
And the flowers lose their petals.
Each day when the blue sky turns gray,
And the sun doesn't shine.
When there is no one to call your name,
And inside yourself doubt is all you find.
Each day when challenges you face,
And abandoned you feel.
When confidence is lost,
And all color seems to fade,
All is not lost,
The sun will shine once again,
And colors will brighten too.
For you see~
Somewhere,
Be it near or far,
To where you are,
Know that you are loved.

i like this. I wasn't sure about the title but then when i finished reading it i liked it. nice work
-
Hmm, it was a good poem but it didn't really sway me, entrall me. I give it a 6.
-
Great
excellent form, great structure and wodefull soul, A poem that seems to be said to you rather then read by you. I give you a 10
-
I liked the concept but I didn't feel there was much power behind the words. I think that this could be edited to have as much meaning as it has to be represented in words.
-
Thank you for entering this in my contest!
i did feel this was an actual happening that inspired this poem, it just seeped through. -
A very caring poem that would go a long way to lifting my spirits...you are holding out your arms in an embrace of words...I always look deeper and between the lines and thats how I can feel the warmth radiating from your loving nature...whenever I feel alone, I shall come back and read this lovely piece, written by a ray of sunshine
Love and smiles

It's very hard for some people to keep that faith and hope, or to believe that they are loved. I hope some of those people have the opportunity to read this, and realize the truth within your words. Great job!
All the best,

good
This is a wonderful piece of writing. First you so a superb job of describing how feeling sad or despressed feels. Then you bring a loving light to the situation reminding the reader how they are loved. This flowed so nicely and your wording was
very good. I really liked this a lot.
good job on this one. -
I like to try and look for a rainbow after a storm, so to speak...
Need more positive thinking in this world...and your write shows this...
Keep up the great work..

i agaree with the sentiments expressed in this poem. is it an early draft? some of the language seems a little contorted to me when i read it out loud. is that because you meant it to sound this way, or because you haven't crafted it yet?
or perhaps it is a poem which follows the way you speak?
best wishes,
myron/ -
you've created a 'feel good' mood with your words
i think the ending is perfect... 'know that you are loved' is a precious thought to hold and give
good writing
-
All is not lost,
The sun shine will once again,
And colors will brighten too.
perhaps in this stanza saying the sun will shine once again for as it is it doesn't really flow or make sense.
spill ink and twist me into the crazy shape of love...

This is yet another amazing piece! I love it, and I like what MK said too!
I love it, really. You're so write, in every single word of this poem. It's an amazing poem, one of those that I think should be read by all. One of my all-time favourites, this one is!
love ya!

Beautiful write. Sounds like you had some great inspiration there...Continue with the great penning.
-
Very true words and a fine message from you!
Now that's what I'm talking about! When you truly know that you are loved - all of lifes little mishaps, troubles, and woes seem so inconsequential and a millon miles away! When those gray and bsy days have got you down and sinking into the quicksand of stress ans strive - embrace the love of your life and know that (he or she) is all that matters! A fine piece, indeed!
Love & Peace!

This was so beautiful and touching. I am a big girl and it's so easy for me to slip into negative thinking and this piece definatly will have me thinking differently at least for the rest of the day. Thanks

Nothing is lost. Despite the way the world may turn, the sun always rises in the east and sets in the west. There is always a moon, though we may not always see it. And we always have a home, though there may be no roof over our heads.
Such a gorgeous piece! I've had similar discussions with many people, mostly with just one person, who never listened to me, but someday he'll see that I was right. No matter how bad things are, they can always get worse, but on the other hand, we are all so blessed. For, if nothing else, there's somebody out there who loves us more than life itself.
Thanks for sharing this piece, mummy. C'est magnifique. -
Wonderful Write
Watching your writting blossom is like watching a child grow. with each passing day i see memories in bloom thank you so much for allowing me this part of your life.....Michael -
VERY BEAUTIFUL AND HEARTFELT!!!!!
WOW!!! This was so uplifting. Thank you. I loved it. It reminds me of a walk I was told to take by my special friend Ed, Poetic- Soldier the other day. He said go out and think positive and look at the clouds and the trees. He motivates me everyday with such love and caring. He is so right, nature is a wonderful way to see the beauty in our surrounding and within. Thank you so much for sharing the sunshine with us . Sandy

This was so sweet; it really reminds me of a song i know, the melody is just there on the tip of my tounge and yet i cant remember it to tell you the name of it .... perhaps its an own composition; dont know, anyway this was such an uplifting poem - ive certainly been there and experienced it all, as will have many others on here - thank god you featured this one, it really gave me a lift today. Bravo!

All is no lost, ( all is not lost perhaps )
The sun shine will once again,
And colors will brighten too
Hun, each time I click on one of your writes I see so much growth from the previous write. I wished I knew where you were getting your inspiration to take your writings forward at such speed. I want that too...lol... I don't think I have come acrossed another on this site that has improved as fast as you.
You have honed your skills remarkably well in such a short amount of time. You keep writing dear, it is obviously a gift and you are unwrapping it well.
Much love, Suzi -
A very nice write and message. Good imagery, flow and tone. Nice rhyme and alliteration. Lovely expression of emotion and words of encouragement. You have a typo in the line "All is no lost," no should be not ; other than that a much enjoyed read. Shelley
