I like how you paired the picture with the poem. I find myself finding different meanings that can be applied to your poem. It comes from picturing different scenarios that this poem could apply to.

We must never give up hope even when things look their darkest. Hope gives us energy and courage to do whatever we can to improve a troubling situation. Prayer is always a good step to take.

The world is in the dark right now at this time with wars and violence on the uptick. We do pray for peace and hope in Christ. Jesus promises that He is the peace we seek. Sending you my best today, as always, and my very best wishes for the upcoming contest, Sally :))

This is concise and well thought out as far as the parameters of the contest go. I love the message of making peace not war and in your notes, you ask for prayers for the two raging wars that are taking place around the world.
I agree we need to light up the dark with candles and love.

I really like your theme, your use of syllables and the visual image you chose to illustrate this. I agree - I think it's particularly pertinent in light of the Ukraine and the Middle East. Thanks for the share.

This 2-4-6, Hope, has the proper formatting and reminds the readers that every spark of light leads us closer to each other and the world we will know then.
