I can identify well with this gem, Frank as I have broken His commandments many times (and still do, I'm afraid) 'Step lightly, on the scattered fragments'...wow...Also,you commented on my blog that your favorite poem was 'Little Boy Blue'...My dad sang opera and on long trips he would always sing that song to us...awesome and heartbreaking poem and song...Take care - Tim

Well this goes into my fav's !! Well written and thought provoking. So much hid from man's eyes ..though known by His ever knowing eyes. Good thing he forgives us...ehhh?? Enjoyed !!

"To finally take you home??" No, no, I wont have it. You MUST stay around here for a long, long time to come. Thank you for the awesome comment on my poem. Love and hugs, Catie :)

So frank, how many of the Oscar contenders have you seen? And do you want Argo to win now? I just can't decide!!! Probably Amour made the most impact on me and yet it's just so dark and not as enjoyable as Argo, Django or some of the others!!

Life is full of trials...if we never have shortcomings, there would be no reason to humble ourselves before God! I like the way you ink!

Dear Frank....I may be presumptuous if I think I've already taken a look into your soul, (at least a little look)....and what I see is kind and generous, deeply commited to what is right, protective of the innocent and tender hearted, behind the remnants of a past that wasn't all your doing. I have smiled at what I've seen, and hope you know that you are a good friend to those who are not 'tired of your follies'. Your poem touched me again. :)

I know what they will find there. A generous heart, honest and brave. It seems your write your heart and soul in every poem dear Frank, and I do believe you have no idea how the person you are makes life that much better an brighter for all of us who know you. A joy to read you again. Keep writing sweet friend. Warm hugs, shar xoxo

I think we catch glimpses of your soul through your poetry, Frank and it is a very fascinating one that has a glow... I think there would be people kneeling beside you -- guess who one of them would be? I hope that's not being intrusive if I did...Very touching write Frank and thank you for passing by my poem...

you're not up to your old trick of deleting poems again are you frank?! I seem to recall seeing this one before...if someone looked deep into your soul I'm sure they would discover someone with a naughty sense of humour but a good heart :)
