A Poet's Prayer

A Poet's Prayer God, I need to get back in touch with you! My parchment and pen just won't do. It's time for me to take a rest, To lay my weary head, on your loving chest. To remember the Creator, you! To stop looking to humankind for my due. They cannot possibly love me as you do! You always send me the way to go, too! So, the time has come to get my priorities straight. After all, one day I will be at the Pearly Gates. For now~I am burnt out totally. Taking a sabbatical from poetry. I will be commenting to some kind souls, As much as I can. You know, the friends, who you are! Hope to be back soon. There are still four pages of my poetry still here. But am recouping my physical and emotional energy. And hope to write another day. Thank you, supporters, in every way! With my love and respect, Panagiota Romios 5/29/2019 9pm PST

Susan, I am graced by your vist. It's a nice honor and plenty of poems here are POTDs today along with me. It a boost for me to keep going. I always question my abilities. Arrogance is not me. I have nothing to prove or show off about. It's rare here, but it is here. Sticks ours like a sore thumb."showing off" is not Poerty Panagiota.

This is wonderful, Panagiota, and a lovely prayer to the Lord ... sincere congrats on a desrved POTD honor! I see this poetry thing (in my own life) as a precious gift from elsewhere - a tool we have been granted and blessed with to express life as art, in ways that so many can not, and each time I write, I thank heaven for it and the. Blessings and thanks for sharing this gem! :-) <3

Lindsay, you are a big poet. You stop by to acknowledge another. Some poets cannot love anyone but their own poetry. Why are they here? To get slaps on the back, only! It's very sad.most here are not in love with themselves. Panagiota xoxo

My dear friend, Panagiota. When someone from our little family here leaves, it is felt by many. Although we are saddened by those who take leaves or opt to depart, we do understand and respect their personally choices. You my friend are one that I will personally be missing. Hope you all the very best in the future. Hope to see ya soon :) Congratulations on POTD. Hugs always, Charlie
