Noteworthy

Joe Doaks was a hardened criminal the truth about him wasn’t subliminal. Then he met a sweetheart who gave him a new start. Now he leads a prison choir with a hymnal.

Thank you, Richard. But it's you who is writing some truly awesome poetry. "Big Girls Do Cry" is superb. It's deeply touching. Congrats. Paul

Thank you, Lindsay. I like your point. We should never give up on anyone. Where there is life there is hope. Showing love is, as I know you know, often the key to turning lives around. Hugs, Paul

Hello Paul. Nice limerick. i see you are still at them. Actually, I personally have known a few reformed criminals who participate in church services regularly.

Thanks for commenting, Daniel. You make a good point. I think that reformed criminals, having experienced life's dark side, welcome the light that church services provide. * * * All the best to you and your cherished ones.
