Notes About The Poem

" LIFE'S AFFLICTIONS " MY PHOTO, ©

May be an image of flower and nature

Brave Souls

Brave souls, seek not to decorate themselves with medals

But only with the wounds caused by life's many afflictions!

This is the very essence of nobility written in a powerful two-liner gem. More power.

When it comes to saving the world, my good friend Demetrios, it's the doers, not the dreamers. Folks like them, upon whom we hear and read, aren't interested in notoriety or in making money for their work.

Lifes unsung heroes who perform deeds for the good of mankind, they seek no fame or reward, people like that you often hear about. Tom

True! However, the Lord knows each one of them and He rewards them accordingly when the time comes. Thank you. Be blessed!
