    Moving mountains isn't as important as lighting a heart. You have shed a wonderful array of rainbows to bring a smile to the heart. Lovely.
    Love, Tom B.

    lol I like the creativity with the format- as confusing as it was- heh- it was still good. The metaphors and imagery were stellar. Very nice poem. Best of luck in the contest.

    as a grain of mustard seed grows

    that is literally brilliant. I have been sitting here trying my hardest to read that every which way and it took me a few but I got it. At first I thought you' lost your mind bear and I was sure those letters didn't spell anything... I had to re read it a few times to catch the meaning. I LOVE THIS!!!! It is one of my favorites from you so far.. I will certainly keep her and her family in my prayers, as well as you Bear!
