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

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

A peaceful offering of a heart that is full of kindness and goodness. Desires, wishes and almost commands to bring and end to misery, and heartbreaks and open the door to a new world that is spledid and gorgeous.

Each couplet makes the reader think: we got to have this, and this, and this too.. For all of us want no more pain, no more hard reality to wake up to, but more love, laughter, happiness.

May we always keep sharing love toward each other! :D

[Richard🖌]

(::) Have a cookie lol

[Richard🖌]

Mm! Got any cold milk?

[Jordan]

Electronics hate liquids. Believe me, I've spilled milk on them before. Sadly I didn't travel through time.

[Richard🖌]

Ha-hahhh (not really funny)!
I cringe at the tales I could tell!

[King O'5ive]

this piece puts me on my knees in a cathedral, tears in my eyes, pain in my heart and hope in my mind, praying solemnly that the afflictions end. that I may see joy once more.

I love where this work of art puts me...I respect the imagery n the choice of words

Hats off to your talent!... thanks for sharing. WRITE ON!

[Richard🖌]

I offer many appreciative thank you's, My New friend, for your words have assured me that my labors have not been in vain, and are in fact instrumental in encouraging my further efforts.

Life's brightest blessings upon you! ⁓ Richard

[Kshitij Srivastava]

Impressive how you initially used words that gave a depressing feel to the poem which gradually made it to the shore of light and hope. Enjoyed reading it 😃

[Richard🖌]

My most happy thanks to you, My Friend, for selecting this meaningful work to read, and for your beautiful words of understanding.

It is rewarding to know of your enjoyment, thereof! ⁓ Richard

[Kshitij Srivastava]

Truly welcome :)

[africa]

I love this piece. I wish I could print it out just as you have penned it and deliver it to the world for this is a truly beautiful outlook to have and one I'd love to share with...

[Richard🖌]

I cannot thank you enough for taking your time to read and review this hopeful little piece, My Friend, and for your truly inspiring sentiments.

Many blessing upon you kind and graciously generous self! ⁓ Richard

[John Alexander McFadyen]

This has the feel of a dirge and yet a poem of hope. It seems to urge such goodness upon a world not able to fulfill such dreams all of the time. I love the picture it has such power. It has near perfect flow and meter.

[Richard🖌]

I really do agree, John,
It does seems to have a rather somber tone I did not intend, but how true that one's hopes all too often exceed reality … still, the trusting heart can't help believing most really do wish to be kind and sweet to one another.

I truly enjoy your reviews, John … thank you sincerely, My Astute Friend! ⁓ Richard
