Poetry Soup Friends

Poetry Soup friends are rare, yet precious treasures Offering kindred bond beyond poetic measures Empowering communication prowess midst word-usage pressures Tending to souls with every remarkable message that assures Reaching hearts’ fissures with hope and love enclosures Yes, indeed expressing honest approval of favor’s pleasures. So privileged am I to have friends in this global poetry site Opening to me opportunities to express myself as I earnestly indite* Upon truths I believe can build lives according to what’s right Prompted by my faith and relationship with God of blissful delight. Friends, I thank you for your kind comments Really pleased am I with your sincere encouragements Influencing me to do my best in my submission-engagements Enabling poetic gift* to be harnessed through your compliments--- Nourished and nurtured midst varied sentiments and predicaments Dealt well around differing perspectives in my exposure-involvements Satisfied am I, sustained with triumph of writing endowments. *Psalm 45:1 My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. **2Timothy 1:6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
