Day to day life is never easy very often, and during the few times it seems to be, don't get too comfortable, because it's about to change soon. Thanks for sharing.

So, so beautiful. I love the photo and the comforting words. And now I know you yourself have been going through a hard time with your mom. This is a lovely quatern and heartfelt message of hope. Sending love.

Hi Helen,

This is a beautiful blessing and I greatly appreciate the sentiment.

I have always loved a Quatern. Thank you for sharing. We have added your family to the prayer list, too.

Kim

This quatern, Praying for Burdened Friends, has the proper formatting and covers those friends with support for all of the physical, mental, and spiritual struggles that assault us daily.

Great rhyming and well-chosen words in your prayer for those who are going through times of sorrow, suffering and fear. We are called to bear one another's burdens, and even though we don't know the circumstances, we can lift each other up in prayer, knowing God hears.

I like how you began and ended with the same line in this beautiful, encouraging poem of the way, through prayers, we've shared each other's burdens doing Covid days.

    Thank you, Verna! It's the quatern form that starts that way and the line repeats in a different line throughout.
    Hugs!

This is a beautiful prayer. I like the repeated/floating line of the quatern, and your lovely rhymes. Thanks for remembering FanStory writers who have lost loved ones, and those bearing heavy loads. The picture reminds me of Pilgrim laying down his burden at the cross. May your own burden be light today. Blessings & prayers.

I love your poem, Helen. It is a prayer in itself. It is so great to have friends you have never met in person but who care enough to hold each other up in prayer. It is so encouraging.

A well rhymed and clever poem to soothe the hearts of those who are bereaved Helen. We don't hear much about the virus here although random testing still continues at the airport of those who have chanced to travel when they are still ill. But now that most of us are vaccinated, there are fewer deaths and life has pretty much returned to normal, except for the wearing of masks. In the UK there are no restrictions at all now, love Dolly x

    So glad that things are better in the UK! My daughter did get Covid despite being vaccinated. She seems to have some long term after effects now. It's making it impossible for her to complete her studies. Thanks for sharing and reviewing, Dolly! Hugs!

    I am sorry to hear that Helen, I hope she recovers, glad she had the vaccine beforehand, love Dolly x

How beautiful is this poem and I love the way you have covered the loss so elegantly when the virus is so scary and can be so deadly. Even though the elderly are so susceptible we can still keep them safe through prayer. Thank you for your post and for your concern for those who have lost loved ones to the virus.

    Thank you, Annie! I guess my poem wasn't quite clear but several Fanstorians have had loved ones die (not from the virus) and others have the virus and are worried their loved ones were exposed. So much hardship these days. But we are able to share and pray for one another. Hugs!!
