Bring to us sunshine, no more rain.
Bring us laughter, no more pain.

Bring to us flowers, no more weeds.
Bring us love to fill our needs.

Bring to us softness, no more stones ...
praise each other in happy tones.

Bring to us life’s bright evermores,
in beauty eternal 'pon verdant shores.

Bring to us moments we all can share,

with wondrous glory, in softest care.

Bring to us truth, that we may know,
our sweet souls through ~ each others’ flow.

'Bring to Us'
Richard,
Hmm..even though this is a love sonnet it spoke to me of the need within the human soul for what defines us. To care for this world we must be open. This is a transparent and an open heart piece. It speaks to the deepest spring within. In taking this in I found myself encouraged to not give up on this crazy world; it's confusion and it's so called portrayal of what is real. What is real is as old fashioned as a listening ear and a non judgmental attitude and a willingness to hang in there and just be patient.
Blessings,
Kathy

Bring to us life’s bright evermores,
in beauty eternal 'pon verdant shores.

Evermores and shores around that same wave length here, Like that it's quite
captivating....

[Susan 🦋]

Beautiful, it almost reads of a prayer..or song. For some reason it reminds me of the Beatitudes. Those tender wishes, sigh... if only could be.

Beautiful piece.. I'd quote here the lines I loved the most but that would mean re-posting your piece! beautiful indeed

[Richard🖌]

Thank you, Dear Poet, for selecting this work to review and comment on, and for your generously gratifying praise.
I would never consider selecting a line from one of my original works to excerpt into a review of it as anything other than example and reference, and this would be allowed in the legality of any venue, unless a statement to the contrary were posted, of course.
Thank you again, Dear Poet, and most appreciatively! ⁓ Richard
