If you'd rather keep it private I COMPLETELY understand (truly, I do), but if not I'd love to see some :D<br /><br />Hmm, <i>Once</i>…well, yes, I think I would, as long as you're okay with some of the content. I haven't seen the latest seasons, but there is of course a good deal of magic (though some of the characters are "born with powers" and those that aren't are typically the bad--or conflicted--characters), and some moderate swearing, and in the earlier seasons there was a good bit of sensuality. Nothing was ever really "shown" in detail, but you, um, you definitely knew what was going on, if you know what I mean. So, other than all that (which I thiiiiink has gotten better as the show has progressed), it's got some awesome character development and absolutely AMAHZING plot twists.

This poem really did speak to me. All the words I loved, but this part, in particular, made me think of it in a new light:<br />"I was there at Calvary.<br />You, my Brother, died for me, <br />So that Your sister I could be,"<br />Keep at your writing, Olivia. I'm positive that God uses it in ways you can't imagine. :) <br />Thanks for posting. <3<br /><br />~Miss MegAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-82640425716782171192016-06-02T21:46:16.459-04:002016-06-02T21:46:16.459-04:00"Those anguished eyes looked straight at me, ..."Those anguished eyes looked straight at me, <br />And now their grace is breaking me,"<br /><br />This poem is so beautiful, Olivia. The tears were just below the surface when I read that part quoted above. That part just really hit me. And I totally understand why you felt like you had to write a little explanation at the beginning. "Any goodness or worth you might see in this poem is solely the work of God, not me. Just wanted to clarify that, if only to remind myself whenever bad motives try to sneak in, dontcha know?" I can totally relate to that feeling. I second guess my motives all the time. But thank you for sharing this anyway. You have a gift for writing poetry, and God is using that gift to bless others. And yes, to Him be ALL the glory!! :) We have nothing that we have not first received from Him.<br /><br />Thank you! And have a blessed night, my friend! *hugs* :D<br /><br />~Miss March Miss Marchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03088465083055515308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-7137481986312492492016-06-02T19:48:35.328-04:002016-06-02T19:48:35.328-04:00Beautiful.
