You did a wonderful job of telling this spiritual story in the very limited number of words allowed, Carol. It was a nice touch, giving prayer for a homeless veteran. Good luck in the contest.

I am getting slower by the second and every time I think I have a handle on being polite and telling everyone how much their efforts and words mean to me (truly mean to me) I discover I have just fallen further behind. I appreciate that people actually enjoy what spills from my aging brain and couldn't find more happiness than sharing my writing. I thank you for your time and thoughts.
Sending a basket of smiles and hugs and apologies... especially to those I've left waiting for days.
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
May cupid sprinkle you with much joy!
Always, Carol

Comment from BLACKTITANIUM86
That's a hot poem. Deep and thought provoking.
How many Americans go to the war for their country,
only to come back to homelessness and racism Nevertheles,
you are exceptional at being a Poetess. Better yet, the
"Jack Of All Trades"...But you Master Writing. Therefore,
I look forward to reading more from you. So Keep Wrting.
And Stay Connected

Thank you for sharing this writing prompt entry with us. Yes, it has come to beatings for no reason. I have heard of an elderly sitting on a bench and praying and was beaten. Our society is a mess. Only prayer and God can fix it. I'm continuing to pray for your family.

People always pick on their fellow humans weaker than themselves, it makes them feel good. This story showed that, in gods eyes, we are all equal. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing.

What a meaningful contest and you've penned a grace-filled thirty-nine word flash!
God bless our veterans! How can we let even one go homeless?!

Don't let the stress get to you. DO what you can when you can. Everyone falls behind. Every one! Sometimes a blanket "I'm swamped but appreciate you all!" is just the ticket!

Comment from Carol Clark2
This is a sad but joyous story at the same time. I hate when our veterans end up homeless, but glad this fictional one was well received in heaven. You did a great job on your story. Best wishes in the contest. Carol

The artwork you added to this short writing is gorgeous. This is something different from what I usually read of yours. I see it is a contest entry so I can only wish you all the luck in the world.

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Your contest entry reads well, Carol. I enjoyed reading it, though it is poignant. I believe this has happened (the death of homeless vets) many times. Yes, God welcomes them to His kingdom. Great use of the required words.
Best wishes in the contest.
Respectfully, Jan

Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
Carol--this packs a punch--I hope you don't think me presumptuous to suggest that God would more aptly say viciousness than ignorance. To whom is God addressing his request for forgiveness in their behalf?
