I really enjoyed this poem.

It had a very nice flow, reading it - the words just seemed to flow into each other well, I am not a poetry expert, but I do enjoy a rhyming poem!

There was also a discernable story within it, which I think most people could relate to, regardless of whatever their religious leanings are.

Excellent work.

Hardest of all to praise when those valleys seem to be all there is.... But praise him through the valley we must! ;) A wonderful offering of testimony (again!), Sir Roy -- thanx for sharing! ;) Yvette

There is no doubt that the satan would never be tired of it's destructive acts. Your uplifting poems are always here to encourage us and give us hope. Thanks for sharing your inspiration. Warmest regards, dear Roy.

Your poem reminds me of Psalm twenty three, the valley of the shadow of death. God is our Shepard and we will never want. An excellent poem as always Roy.

Great is your faithfulness, Lord unto me. Yes, in valleys of despair we do learn. I appreciated your poem because it is relevant to us as we age. We forget things, our eyesight fails, we have no strength. But Jesus does.
Our burden is heavy but He will carry us. K xx

Roy, you are indeed a master of your craft. Your poem is uplifting, making us come out of our moments of despair, knowing that everything is going to be alright if we have faith.

Those "valleys of despair" are great teachers. I've learned so much about myself, others, and this world that God has made. My long, twisted path shows that I'm a slow learner. Thank you, Roy, for your beautiful words.

Even when Satan tempts us because we feel life is too rough and we fall into dispair, we just need to open our eyes and hearts and know that God is always there. He will show us the way if we let him. What a wonderful world it would be if everyone did that.
Smiles, Carol

I love the Quatern and the Kyrielle because of the repetitive refrain. I always felt that style with a strong refrain works extremely well. Just like in your poem today, wonderful poem of faith. That with the brightness of a new day no matter how bad things may seems God is with us and by our side and he will helps us through. A poem of hope and love wonderfully written. Well done Roy a pleasure as always.
Best Wishes
Nicki

Coming to know Him, to understand his purpose in creating man. The forgiveness of our daily sins, his putting them as far away from him as the sun is to the moon. All of these things are an example of the kind of love we should have for each other. Oh if only we could learn that. Imagine a world without hate, or need, wrongful striving or greed.
