You Opened My Eyes

Thank You

After all the sorrows and pain 

After striving without any gain

After the years of being in vain 

Now I can see the beauty of rain 

When I am down and feeling blue

You raise me up and take my rue

In everything,  You are so true

I always see the light in You

And I am glad to see this day 

It's different from yesterday 

I'm here to thank, to praise, to pray 

You opened my eyes to see Your way!

To someone who constantly needs to be validated and inspired, this poem meant a lot to me. I loved the words of gratitude, something that we often forget to express to those who stand by us always. I very appreciate the rhyming in your poetry and the strong and clear style. Keep shining always.

[Dhaye]

My poems are light and simple only. Hehe.
But thanks a lot for appreciating...
You are not just a smart and great poetess, you have also a kind heart. 😊😊

I see again your signature in this piece: impeccable consistent rhyme pattern. Sometimes our sorrows and pain could bring out the worst in us but most of the time such pain open the door of deeper understanding and wisdom. Having a sense of gratitude and hope in our heart is like holding the sun during a power blackout.

Thank you for such an uplifting piece of poetry.

[Dhaye]

Thank you for reading, sir.

beautiful piece...could be speaking of God, or just of someone who has taught you that you could love and be loved...i love the rhyme scheme...and how in the second stanza you employ the near rhyme...

i see the light!

[Dhaye]

Yes, sir...the second stanza has a near rhyme but will try to fix it.
Thanks for the read and review, sir. I always appreciate it, especially when you suggest something because I really learn from it. God bless!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

oh no...i don't think you should change the near rhyme...it really works well in that stanza...
read moreoh no...i don't think you should change the near rhyme...it really works well in that stanza...

that was not a criticism...i think near rhyme works so well because it is subtle.

[Dhaye]

I changed it already, Sir.
And I can't the "read more" there. Lol
Thank you so much for being one of those who help me improve my works. I'm grateful.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i don't know why that happens, a glitch...i like the new verse, my comment had just said that the near rhyme worked really well...but whatever makes you the writer most comfortable...

good either way.

[Dhaye]

Thank you, Sir. :))
