Melissa,

Great illustration to pair with your meaningful poem. We all need a shoulder or two to lean on during difficult times.

Best wishes in the contest voting.

This is an intriguing photo. I guess they are tiny shoots holding up a large droplet of water. Perfect syllabic count. Nice job on a 5-7-5 and I hope it does well in that contest.

Ciao!

Unity is strength , we as individuals but also as a nation should remember this.

The two parties in America spend too much energy discrediting each other.

Their animosity has divided the country and that is a loss for all.

This is a very well written poem in a few short words, but it has a profound message. We all need to realize that there are times in our lives when we do need to reach out and we need to be able to have people who will help us with her Strength. Patricia .

You found such a lovely piece of artwork for this cute poem that reminds us that we can find help and solace if we only reach out to caring friends, whether they be virtual or just down the street. Thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest,
