A Family Blessing* Comments

Wow! This is so good " Only great pain... torment... distress... before the grave.". Loved it.

Yes when I considered my most popular poems I find, they were all on my old overseas site, most starting near the top in the alphabetical listing. Therefore they are not always the best or most interesting, just the most easily accessible, three of the first four listed; ‘cubism’ Picasso, “i Am Not A Terrorist” Sarah Palin and 2011 Global Fish Extinction Crisis. Then the most popular 'A Blue Rose Tragedy', followed by 'A Caster Of Stones', 'A Change Of Heart', 'A Cup Of Wine Would I Give Thee*', 'A Golden Memory', 'A Good Place To Start', etc. Seems almost all popular poems start with an 'A' and few readers can progress past this most popular of letters. The only exception being the poems 'Maya Angelou: A Phenomenal Woman? ', 'Sown Into Earth Adoration Love' and 'Song Of My Love*'. Therefore important theme poems like 'State Of 20th Century Man*' are overlooked. If we write too much, a lot of good poetry will be buried.

This is absolutely beautiful, Terence! No wonder why it is one of your most popular poems. Wisdom and truth.

Wisdom and fortitude in the words of a poem. Full of spiritual insight, and comforting to the soul. Thanks.

I really enjoyed this beautiful poem written with such feeling and intensity. Mans journey through lfe is a long and tedious one. It is only through Gods help and our faith that will make it a good one. Very inspiring.

Great poem, I love the setting keep it coming..

The poem starts, 'A DECADE ABOVE LIFE' and resonating through the ages and carrying with it great promises of a good life. At this point, if this was a bus ride, I do not want to come down. Then the poet concludes the poem in hopeful sailing to a land filled with love. Excellent, work. I can read this all day.

'-May the years unfold gently, while richly filled with happiness, prosperity' truth be told your work is great in life it is the truth that gives direction to greatness good writing may mighty AMIGHTY GOD off ALL! Bless you in Christ Jesus our Lord and SAVIUOR! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

For life’s toils end in this world of shadows - upon the breath of a warm wind to carry us home above the plains. you always speak of your tremendous faith. i call u a poet of faith.... very very nice the follies of life and that the life ends here but a greater life waits for you in the heavens where angels and saints live...........

As you mention in your poem, the toil is taken on us each day, but not nearly the toil and burden place on God the Father, when He gave his only son for our salvation.. A very good write. Lynn

A spirited seeking delightful joy....memories of the past linger on the journey of life....Awesome poem. God bless ...a 10 +++

This poem is absolutely sensational! I love how you connect the ideas between them...well expressed feelings

We seek through life’s journey slowly understanding - is distilled through the words And it is the precious wanting now-a-days, which is also about to be archaive thing of moral-self. Understanding.....! ! ! ! ! ! Ridiculous. Alls are very much wise than others. Every body ready to convince you with his own ideas and belief which perhaps he himself doesn't belief when crisis arises. Fantastic Gothic by words you have grafted in a poetry nearing to be a prayer. Again I repeat the word 'Understanding' a rarest word you have planted here. Thank you very much. Good poem with your natural faith in God. Regards, 10+ pranab

Excellent poem or should I say a noble prayer! Two-in-one. I really loved it. Praying for happiness, prosperity, peace, love, friendship, noble ideals, divine path without getting astray, understanding more of God's love as the age advances and as body crumbles, before we leave this world of illusion, shadows to go above-A WONDERFUL FRAGRANCE ININ A SMALL PERFUME BOTTLE, friend-you are very talented-I envy why I can't be like you :) Warm Regards.10++++

nice poem, its really explaining the truth about life i really like it a lot

For the dream is the tie to life. i liked these lines very much. you love the Lord and direct everyone not to forget the relationship to Him. lifes toil end in this world of shadows.. a great realization.. it is very inspiring. ur poems are clear and you do not use complicated words. i find it wonderful. thank you.

A beautifully penned prayer with a poetic touch. Conveys a strong and clear message on life. Use of metaphors adds to the beauty of the composition. The last lines are very significant: For life’s toils end in this world of shadows - upon the breath of a warm wind to carry us home above the plains. A very inspiring and motivating piece written in simple words.
