Beautiful Shine of Faith

Believe you can and you're halfway there" - Theodore Roosevelt
****************************************************************
 
                                         Beautiful Shine of Faith

                            When swirls of sadness swamp the heart
                                   And vile men hold lovers apart,
                               When clouds of anguish grip the mind
                                And one`s path in life one can`t find,

                                       When the spirit is at low tide
                                    And no one can serve as a guide,
                                    It`s time faith in oneself to light
                            And seek its shine that`s sparkling bright.

Dear KG, What a deeply moving and thought provoking poem woven with such soulful metaphors! I love the quote as it somehow reminds me of being hopeful and to believe! I also love how youv written “And vile men keep lovers apart, When clouds of anguish grip the mind And one`s path in life one can`t find,” so poetic and heart touching! I love the way youv phrased those lines too! Creates a beautiful cadence. Pleasure reading you today. Sending you light always

I love the feel behind the wise message your poem imparts. (check directions, I think the word 'beautiful' must be in the poem's title.) All the best ... CayCay

Thanks a lot, dear friend, for appreciating the message in the above poem. I am particularly grateful to you for kindly drawing my attention to an oversight in the title of the poem. I have amended it with a little twist to the poem. You may wish to flit over it. May the blessings of the Lord rest with you and those near and dear to you.
