Hey Barry, I was just going to try to get a hold of you soon. Are we still on for a birthday poem? I hope so, as I planned on doing one for you for the 23rd.
If so could you please send me a little bit of info about yourself by the 20th? You can send to my email: debipm@icloud.com or pm me here if you would like.
And thank you so much for the nicest compliment. You are always so darn kind and one of those who have been taught the golden rule. lol.
I can't wait to hear back from you. On Thursday I am doing one for Terry Broxson and there is some info in there that is really cool. I can't wait to tell about it. ...... And thanks again, my very dear friend. Love, Debi

Oh, Ok Debi. I will send something through to you before 20th. Probably to your email. Thanks

Your words have so much meaning and are so true. We need the Golden Rule desperately in today's world. Your smooth poetic flow of words and lines brings forth the meaning of the Golden Rule and I hope human beings will return to treating each other well.

Hi Elaine, I appreciate your very special words for the golden rules and my poem.
I know we are all human and fall short, but kindness and caring go a long way. Thanks for being that kind of person who is kind to others.
Thanks again!
Love, Debi
Comment from Begin Again
Beautifully written and oh so true. It's a shame that so many are forgetting, or at least setting the Golden Rule aside, doing what they feel suits them and not how it suits others. I loved the poem!

Your words in the Golden Rule are ever so true and should be at least attempted to be followed by those that break it.
Very nicely written and shared!
Enjoy your Tuesday.

Comment from Mark Jackson
That good, quite a lot sadder and hard hitting than I had expected. I really like the gold background very striking. Not so easy to read the font, it is attractive but even zoomed in I struggled to read some words foot looks like feet to me for example. I was a little confused by He wished he'd known. I wondered if that should read: We wish? Probably not just makes the abusive spouse seem caring in the end. Great read 5 stars.

Hi Mark, I do see your points and tried to work on a few of them. So the background color is too dark, but I like it to match with the art that I do myself. And that was the closest gold color I could find. I think I will see if I can find one shade lighter. I appreciate hearing from someone what I felt too.
I love to use the fancier fonts with certain posts, and I know that it is hard for some to read a few of them. Actually my favorite is called dancing scripts but I use it so much I felt this one called for something even a little fancier.
I am glad also that you brought up about my friend's husband. After she died he broke down and said he wished he would have treated her better. That he had come from that kind of family and should have known better. Yet, I had it how you suggested and someone thought I was being too judgmental. Which I thought was pretty heartless since I had just lost a friend. It also was the reason for this poem.
I appreciate all your kind and honest feedback as so many things that we struggle with ourselves if it doesn't feel quite right, to hear it from someone else then we know our intuition was spot on. So thank you, my friend. I am going to change the backdrop color and hope that helps some.
Love, Debi

I loved the colour and the font, I just struggled to read it. but I zoomed in so I could. Thank you for getting back to me. It is a poem in my opinion it should be how you feel. It should be therapy. Great writing.

Thanks so much, Mark.
I did lighten it a shade tho.
I appreciate your feedback tremendously!

This is an excellent post Debi, as always, you've grown as a writer and I think as a person, and as a woman of God, that is the biggest role we have to play. Conforming to the image, that is the happiest place, beautifully written, blessings Roy

-Very nice artwork and presentation, Debi.
-You wrote a meaningful poem with
effective imagery and rhyme.

"What God truly wants us to know."
-A good job with referencing the
Golden Rule at the end of each stanza.
-A very good concluding verse
that ties the poem together.
