Inspiring Poems to Feed Your Soul

THE POWER OF LOVE What is it that opens your eyes to a lonely stray dog on the street? The homeless man on that park bench looking for something to eat. Those feelings which are so inherent deep within our core, might cure all the suffering and give meaning to compassion and understand what it's for. The value of our own lives that we feel everyday should mirror how we perceive all life the very same way. For we all exist from the first heartbeats of our birth, in God's eyes we share the exact same worth. Life is precious, as it is a gift given for a very short period of time. How we choose to live it can be dark and bitter or taste as sweet as wine. The difference is up to ourselves, as each of us has the power to decide. We can use the power of love to continue, and push all the hate aside. If you can love yourself and realize that everyone deserves to live, there might always be a reason to feel empathy, to forgive. This may not be easy, as our world has been torn so far apart. But, in order to have peace, we must understand where to start. Peace begins with a simple respect of life in whatever may be the form. This taught to our children to be the decisive and absolute norm. Somehow this notion has become forgotten, and our children have gone astray. We see this on the news through all the violence we see everyday. Black against white, and white against black, it still comes down to the compassion we lack. To care about each other and what we might give to ease all this pain, can eventually teach the world what showing a little love just might gain. Again, I make a plea to all that may feel they could listen, to create a world in our lifetime that could finally endure and perhaps even glisten.

About the Author
After nearly 60 years of experiencing life in a small town environment, I have become closer to acquiring an inner peace. An appreciation of nature along with a positive outlook on life, has given me a unique perspective on a healthier existence. It has always been my intention to leave my readers with a feeling of calm, and a positive outlook to use as we all try to live in the present. Although we can all learn from the past, and plan for our future, ultimately the most important time we have to control in our lives is the present. Most all the poems printed here direct the reader to take on the present in a positive way. I live in Upstate New York in a little town called Horseheads. I enjoy nature very much, as I have been inspired to write after many campfires in my backyard. I was originally inspired by my paternal grandmother, who was also a published poet. Her name was Sarah Cook. It is my only hope that I can bring some joy to as many people as I can while I am still on this earth. The words written here came from my heart, and directed to feed your soul. Take as much as you like, and spread the word.
