I wish I could give you a six for this, but I have none left.

Your poem is so very lyrical, I can hear it being sung .... somewhere. The words are sad, beautifully written with a lot of emotion and feeling. Excellent writing.

Warm regards,
Wendy.

This lament of an alcoholic shows how devastating a curse this disease is. He knows he is destroying his marriage, but he does not have the strength to stop. This all comes through in your poem. Thank you for sharing.

They say there's no such thing as angels, well, my woman's wearing wings.
She's the rock that I still lean on. The gold inside our wedding rings.


Wow...I don't see any reason for all the explaining in your notes. This poem tells a story within well written lines. Very powerful is its message.
I think it goes on behind many a closed door...

This is a great country themed song. It's too bad Ole Possum is gone, but I imagine there are plenty of others who can do it justice. I hope someone records this. Best of luck to you. Great job.

This is absolutely beautiful. Such a sad, yet happy story. This woman sounds like she's a real woman, yet it's hard on someone, no matter how strong they are, to watch the one they love do this to themselves. Great writing!!

Well, he certainly has a special, strong woman in his life. I could see his pride for her shining through in your writing although the sad situation is, even though he feels guilty, he can't help but return to the bottle. An excellent piece, Brett, thanks for sharing...Jacob

Compelling and poignant. A true reflection of self flaws owned up in humility and grace of one's ways. The power of this angel and the impacting role she plays in this power is truly powerful and a great testimony of God's love.

nice country drinkin' song. hardly original, but competent. meter is wobbly at best. rhymes are decent, though at times redundant (me/me). nice emotional impact.

Very well written. The lyrics actually read like a country western song. It speaks of a personal struggle,combined with a deep love and respect for a wife who he deeply loves & appreciates that she doesn't give up on him or their love for each other. Very strong message.

Beautifully written, though I am not a fan of country music. I wold love to hear the musical background that would accompany these words.
I do find it sad that the only answer without the wife is to hit the bottle. I am not a fan of glorifying liquor as the answer and somewhat get tired of seeing it used so heavily in lyrics. But that is reality I suppose.
Overall it is a beautiful love song.
Courtney
