Hello Thomas Seeker

Congratulations on your Writing.com account anniversary this month! I'm sending this review in honor of the occasion, courtesy of the "Anniversary ReviewsOpen in new Window. activity.


*Penw* Positives

I like the sentiment of this poem. It does a great job of separating out the things that can be mercurial in our lives from the things that can be permanent and meaningful. I particularly like the "death where is your sting" line, which is a familiar callback to both scripture and many popular Christian worship songs.


*Penw* Suggestions

The only part I was a little unsure about is the "family, friend last forever" by "lovers may fade" sentiment, as I'm not sure that friends have the same sense of permanence as family. Even family can be something that people "opt out" of in certain circumstances, but the separation between "friends" (being something that last forever) and "lovers" (being something that might fade) needs a bit more context to make the distinction, I think.


*Penw* Overall

Overall, this was a great read and had a great message. Nice work!


I hope you've found this review helpful. If so, please consider paying it forward by reviewing the work of another WDC author!

Respectfully,
