OVERALL SENSE: The POV was out of sequence, and I think if you re-read the poem, you will be able to mend it very quickly.
GRAMMAR/SPELLING: I see nothing at all wrong. Well done!
AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT: "I looked at him in bewilderment" Somehow that doesn't seem to appropriate. Perhaps, feeling bewildered, I saw him ...

Your voice gives hope to those who are suffering under the thumb of haters; bullies if you will.
I applaud your efforts and strength to overcome, but I'm wondering if you did it all by yourself or if there were others who offered you a lending hand along the way.
Your punctuation needs a bit a work, but other than that, you are one talented writer.
Your poem is so heartbreaking.
You possess a remarkable talent for emoting feelings, and I know that you are going to touch the lives of many, many people who suffer in silence just as you do.
I don't believe your form of relief is a sin, and I pray your future will be bright and filled with happiness.
God bless!
You have penned a very poignant piece of work that tugged at my heart from beginning to end.
Jewels is the strength of the family; a leader among many, who will definitely leave her imprint on may hearts.
The father, no matter how dire his life may have been, should have broken the mold, and made his family number one, but I found him to be a coward. The mother should have considered her child's needs a priority, but she, too, is a coward.
You are a very talented writer; one who can emote feelings brilliantly,
Perhaps if you re-read your story, you will be able to correct your punctuation and always spell out our words; i.e., birthdays.
Loved it!
Your story is heartbreaking. It reads as though your marriage, which you described as being one of default, lacked respect and love.
It's obvious that your husband had deep-rooted emotional problems, which he tried to numb with medication and alcohol.
You're right, it was his choice to live that way and not yours, but I do hear guilt within your tone.
You are a very talented writer, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading about a phase of your life, which I hope never occurs again.

Maybe I wasn't such a good wife or a good person for that matter

You are a very talented and proflic writer, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading your story.
It was truly inspiring to read about Olivia's strength since most women would have folded under such excruciating pain. I very much liked the ending--let Tim clean up his own mess, and apparently the young woman knew what she was getting into.
Bravo!
It was a pleasure to read your poem.
Your passion allowed you to describe perfectly in innermost feelings as you captured the moments so brilliantly.
Keep on writing, please!
Your poem is absolutely beautiful!
In today's society, there are so many questions and doubts, but you have allayed our fears with your message of hope and love.
Thank you so much.
Lola
Your poem is flavored with so much passion, and I think most of us can attest to being in the same place as you describe so very well.
It's hard, if not impossible to forget, but an attempt to move past a place of heartache can bring good results.
Keep up the writing!
You've wrapped some excellent advice inside your poem.
When we first encounter that emotional tugging at our heart, we don't always act in the most appropriate manner as you've described.
You convey your inner most emotions very well, and it was a pleasure to read your poem.

Your viewpoint of Mary Magdalene was a wonderful read, and I garnered a new appreciation of her role in history.
No matter how dirty people appear to be be, they can always be cleaned in the power of Christ.
Thank you very much for sharing this with us as it has given this reader a new reflection for today.
You've wrapped a very inspiring message inside your beautiful poem, and that is to always keep your head up no matter the circumstances. Luna shines brightly for a reason.
Wonderful!
Your poem contains such beautiful sentiments about the one you love.
You expressions are so inspiring, and it was a joy to read your innermost feelings.
Keep up the good work!
Oh, you write about the mysteries of love so honestly, allowing your readers to connect in their own personal way. I like the way you arranged the questionning.
First stanza, last sentence: did you mean to write is it love?
Keep up the good work!
You certainly have the talent to connote the feelings of someone who is under the spell of another. I think most of us have been there.
Perhaps if you reconstructed the poem, it would render a more dramatic reading.
Keep up the writing!
Wow! This story is excellent!
After reading this, I feel energized and inspired.
You certainly have a rare and unique talent; one that allows you to pull in your readers and leave them with feelings of victory.
Bravo!
Your poem depicts the sadness that a lot of people experience because they are afraid to face reality and ask for what they want.
You've done a splendid job of showing us both sides and what a loss life can be when no one speaks out about their feelings.
Keep on writing!
Ooh, your poem is so scary-good.
You've given your readers a vivid image with your excellent descriptions.
There is something eerily quiet and strange about nighttime. Now I know what it is.
Very good!
Oh, your poem is so hauntingly sad.
Your use of metaphors and descriptions to convey your innnermost feelings
are excellent, and I've no doubt that such an honest and heartfelt entreaty will be heard by God.
Very, very nice!
I just love your positive attitude; very infectious!
Some of your sentence structuring was a bit long without punctuation and, therefore, was a bit confusing.
Overall, you did a splendid job.
You've presented a very intriguing and interesting story, but I can't help but wonder why God would choose to have Will be born again as someone different with different parents. It would seem that God made a mistake, and I prefer to believe He never makes mistakes. But, of course, I respect your point of view, and enjoyed reading your story.
Although your poem evoked feelings of despair, you manged to incorporate hope, courage and love--three very powerful forces. I like how you were able to use lullaby as a metaphor.
Very nice!
You convey your connundrum so very well. I think most of us have been in the exact same place as you describe, and your decision to lie in the silence until you receive an answer is brilliant.
