I don't think I have ever given six stars to a shorty, but this one is great. How long did it take you to come up with that little gem? That should win the contest.

Thanks so much Paul!!! I rarely give six stars to anything short, but this came to me one night, complete. I doubt it will win - there are always excellent ones in such contests, but I value your thoughts about it. Six stars is a wonderful, valued, and very encouraging gift!

Comment from Sally Law
This is beautiful in short verse love poetry. I mad a challenge seeing it though. You may want to brighten the font or darken the background. Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming contest Sal XOs

You are welcome, Wendy.
Comment from Wayne Fowler
One hundred percent agreeance.
Sad to say, I was nearly a lifetime learning it. I never heard it a single time from my dad, and saying the words to my kids was difficult - how to fit it into conversation, whether to say it as a reward for achievement, or ... I just couldn't figure it out.
But I finally did.
Blessings.

I am glad you did. It's hard to overcome one's childhood issues. Neither of my parents ever said it, which was what prompted this one. But I made sure my own kids heard it. Thanks so much for reviewing.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I think not saying these words is a big regret for some people. My parents never told me they loved me ever and I bear them no grudge but I made sure that my children were told that they were loved every day and it makes such a difference. I changed the status quo and I loved your words here Wendy, love Dolly x

Yes, my parents were the same - so I also made sure I told mine all the time. There is no substitute for hearing those three words. Thank you so much for reviewing!
