Haaaaa! "Negative responses attached like the common cold." This has got to be the quote of all time, for everbody. The negativity of every situation, is like glue, while the positive runs off like water off a ducks back. So true Sami. Thanks so much for supporting my contest, Agape, Moses

My dear Sami, Your amazing poems are always a joy to read. In this I feel you searching and I plead with you, to keep searching for the truth, as only the truth can set us free. Forgiveness and redemption are always there from Him if we only ask with sincerity. And when the road becomes too rocky, He will carry you. Thnx for your kind comments, Sami. Peace and love, Audrey

Sami, Sometimes, our surroundings, communities' traditions and expectations, inner soul, and life itself has so many pressures and distractions from peers, religions, politics. Pressures that can confuse Truth from God with man's ideas. It is difficult to KNOW. One can feel helplessly bombarded by evil influences. But I think that your last verse sums up salvation and righteousness. When the soul is open to God's rules and willing to follow, The self is lost and good grows within. Thanks.

Second stanza last line caught my eye...Hope that the negative really does not attach to you like a common cold...I hope that only positive thoughts and contacts will enter your life... ON my poem "DermaWhatologist"...was just for fun..I did have to go for a check up for I have had several pre-cancerous or one early stage cancer... The lady that sees me is not a doctor just a PA...She is really nice but the red hair,etc. describes her..She does use a freezing technique which hurts..Sara
