If Only, a poem meant for all of us, what could have been, never was !
Are we thinkers and dreamers in life ?

Haley, what a great honor to graduate from university, a must for today's future ! When I was a young person, education was not so stressed so I graduated from the school of hard knocks ! But with inflation today, you need a high paying job.
Kids today are smart, they either get a trade or university !

I have read your two poems - Lost and Found, and Vases !
Very heart warming indeed about our lives are very prone to be hurt !
Life is fragile
Handle with prayer !

You are letting age define you. You must realize outward beauty is only skin deep, Ii is what is inside of you that counts ! White hair with all the wrinkles will come as a badge of honor with all the character it creates ! Also age will create wisdom, the young will never have ! Grow old with me, the best is yet to come
A fun poem meant for every person especially the ladies with all their make up ! Bravo - keep writing more »

A delightful poem about how retirement has been very kind to you !
From toddler, teenager, youth,, middle age to elder statesman !
In my life I have always liked structure and with the elder years, your life is an open book with no ending !
That is the time to be a poet of sorts !
Time flies like an arrow
Fruit flies like a banana ! more »

Life is hard, endure it,
Sometimes the hardest thing
And the right thing
Are the same !

Truly an epic poem by a master poet of years ago !
What if
Only if
What stops us from going the extra mile ?
A wise man calculates the risk and never looks back !

Melita, I know you love the Lord by your poems so lets have a little friendly banter if you like !

Beauty is only skin deep, it's what is inside of you that counts !
To have a nice body takes amazing work and even then it is not enough.
The love of food is our main downfall !
Smile and the world smiles with you, weep and you weep alone !

o consecrate on the inner body and you will be pleasantly surprised !
To cheer you up -
Time flies like an arrow
Fruit flies like a banana ! more »

Writing poetry is not your forte.. Better to stay silent than to provoke !

Poetry is not your forte , better to stop now and avoid all that useless effort!

As we walk in the Christian life, it is an adventure of a lifetime !
As we trod this sod, many things will become new to us !
The story of Nicodemus is one !
I am 88 years old, it only get better spiritually not physically !
Bravo ! more »

Little girls are cute, loving and sweet and everything nice
While boys are clumsy, shabby and love puppy dog tails !

Thankyou for this interesting Bible information !
The Bible is God's Word so that we can live a life in praising God in what He has done for us - salvation !
God is one Person and God is three Persons all at once !
Just a mustard seed faith is required to believe it more »

Originality, who has it ?
The poet laureates of old might have had it
But plagiarism is here to stay !
We all try with our feeble attempts to make our mark !
But Bravo to you !

This is a very poignant poem but seeing the negative side of life.
Every rose has it's thorns to remind us life must be pursued to see the beauty all around us ! But always remembering beauty is only skin deep, it's what inside of you that counts !
Agape love from God is what all of us need ! more »

All we need is the faith as large as a mustard seed. The woman who touched Jesus had that and we can have it too. Trust and obey for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus !

A thoughtful poem about reality !
No man is an island but there comes a time when you are set adrift and then what ? Do the best with what you got, and if that is not good enough, it is what it is, isn't it ? more »

I like this poem, as you read it, it keeps you in suspense about our life - what could have been, if only ! Very well balanced !
Keep writing !

Read 2 Tim 2: 15 - Study to show your self a workman
Christian poetry is a lamp to those who are perishing !
Thankyou for being God's craftsman !

Thankyou for your revealing poem.,
Sickness of the mind and body can be a life long journey.
When you are young at heart, you should be able to deal with it but not always.
Now I am in my last years, I find it very hard to cope !
Pain our worst enemy !
Keep writing, it may give you a release from it.
Believe it or not - we are all in it together sooner or later !
You can lead a horse to water
But you can't make him drink ! more »

Autumn, my favorite season, so very rich in color as you have aptly described..
Just delightful ! Write the other seasons, they each have their flair !
Then you will four poems in season !

You got the rhymes right !
A friendship, short and sweet but no substance !

To day April 17 is the day that almost everybody goes to church !
If they never go to church normally, they are compelled on Easter Sunday- Resurrection Day !!

We have had a little fun today, as for me living in the past creates my memories. I loved weightlifting and cross country cycling most of my life, now I live just a day at a time - the days are long but my memories are longer !
Bravo ! Keep the torch burning ! Get a bike and do 100 miles in one day !
Create milestones in your life and when you are old you will say - how about that ! Good nite. more »
