As the life's I have been loving leave,
seasons come and seasons go, emotions weave.
The ebb and flow with breeze's upon tree,
like sweet gentle kisses the soul feels free.
Letting go brings peaceful sighs of relief,
the heaviness of sadness fades, is belief.
Living is larger then I use to perceive,
breathing in new life I can then receive.
Life in and of itself is a precious gift
with all the bad yet good I begin to sift.
Placed upon my heart are precious gems,
filtered through my life’s little whims.
Receiving Christ deep within my spirit,
eternity I receive is locked and cherished.
Battling with my very soul, the world does fear it,
yet God's trinity of salvation I then have relished.
Living life on mountains high, valleys so deep,
spiritual lessons of grief brings upon joys I reap.
With the pains I surrender to God, it's my experience,
brings abundance of joys in which God I give reverence.
My life of loving, then grieving from losing,
has not always been my own life's choosing.
To live and let live is where life is living,
acceptance is the key in which the body with soul is seeing.

Beautiful Testimony Kelle!!!!!!
You certainly earned the gold here Kelle!!!!! What a beautiful testimony to the love and compassion of Christ you have penned in this piece of poetry. Your life has been seasons of joy and seasons of weeping and you will have those seasons of weeping until you see MAtthew again because of the great love you have for him, but you have two other and Bruce and your life still has great meaning which isn't to say at all you should ever forget about Matthew but rather cherish his memory always. But the season of joy are still in your life with the rest of your precious and beautiful family there loving you and needing you now possibly more than ever. But you show how CHrist is alwways there and whatever the reason for the many adversities in your life he love you and you have eternal salvaton through that love and it is a tesitmony that he love and grace can bring us through any cicumstance life can bring if we just hold onto him through the darkest of times. He will bring the sun again.....Amazing write Kelle .....as always...Thanks for sharing your heart once again!!!~~Toni~~

Remember seeing this picture before so thought I had commented, but it must have been another poet's entry into another contest. think you might mean losing, rather than loosing in that first line of the last verse. Other than that little typo, this is a wonderful write.

many things we may seek to change, but in reality, our lives only can we change. and that is to occur today, not yesterday, or tomorrow, it is today, its all we have. God is the rewarder of every good and perfect gift, and only from Him, is future life possible, to be reunited with our loved ones that have gone on ahead of us. each day has its own anxiety, treat others with love and kindness, knowing goodness and love comes from the heart. never keep count of injury
If we as humans cannot forgive our brothers and friends who we see, how do we expect God to forgive us, Whom we have not seen. Go in peace my friend, and may God, Jehovah bless you.

This is amazing, Kellie. You have such a way with poetry, and I think, from this beautiful, heartfelt write, helps with your healing process, getting all of your feelings out into the open, and aids into bringing out those demons that can be so dangerous for the heart and soul. This is really lovely. Great write!
Acceptance is the key in which the body with soul is seeking. So true. This is an extraordinary write and it is written beautifully.
-
Wonderful
A very touching and heart rendering piece. So very well done. It speaks of faith and all that is dearest in your life. Best of luck in the contest.
-
outstanding
This is a great piece. It rhymes well. It flows well. It speaks from the heart and truly shows that Jesus is more than savior. You have elements of walking through trials and surrender. This speaks to much of what I have learned as well. This is by far the best piece I've read so far. I may have found my gold.
-
A beautiful poem.Great way of showing our pain of losing loved ones around us, then the testimony of giving it to Christ. It doesn't make it go away but it does give us hope.
-
Beautiful Dear like the peaceful yet melancholy feeling of the read. rhymes great too flow awesome Good luck with it
-
It takes a special kind
of courage and feelings of trust to write with such an open, honest and genuine sense of emotion and heart like you have penned here. As we come to try and understand our troubles, pain and loss we cannot help but find some avenues of resolve and spiritual enlightenment and when we do, especially coming from something you have gained from something very difficult and tragic, what learn and gain in the process has great meaning and value. These are the gems, when shared like you are sharing in this write, that a precious gifts to those who read what you have learned and hopefully others can learn from your words as well.
Very worthwhile and meaningful poem from your heart, my hats off to you on this one, it is , to me, what poetry is all about.....expressing your feelings, insight and hearts values; lessons learned and sharing such a personal side of who you are. Just a beautiful poem.
Thank you for sharing this with me.

I'm pretty sure I've read your poetry before, because your rhyming stands out in its own way. Very special. My favourite part of this piece is the last stanza. It's very honest and in depth, and I relate a lot. good job!
-
Ooh, yep this was good.
I especially like the part when the rhyming changes and then once again remains resiprical. Additionally, I really liked "Life in and of itself is a precious gift with all the bad yet good I begin to sift". It's pretty simple, however, there is deep meaning that lye between these words.
Very good
-
Beautiful, beautiful and beautiful
my goodness this just brings tears to our eyes and souls.
Will keep this treasured poem to calm my soul when those
restless clouds of grief and strife try to convince
me they are the only sight to behold.
Beautiful bold hope pierces through this poem!
tender hugs and blessings to you for the courage to
write this heart piercing poem!
