Notes About The Poem

Casting My Cares - 1

You see the ugly scars 
I see the beauty inside 
You see the struggles and worries 
I see the strength that makes it worth it 
You see the pain and sorrow 
I see second chances in the morning

Listen… to the touch of a pen 
Who understands your need 
To give back a piece of you 
A part of your heart and soul 
A chunk of your hope and faith 
A sample of mercy and grace 
Portions of your spirit’s praise

Inspiration sings praises into 
The kindness of a psalm 
Portraying the evidence 
Of hope that lingers on and on 
Lifting up the dismal heart 
With light, laughter and love 
Whispered in the prayers 
Of one who breathes in 
The music of a sincere belief

If I were a star… 
I’d look down to those soft wishes 
Made on my twinkling shimmer 
Enlightening the heart with a quiver 
Of intimate hues that shadow the sparkle 
With halos of pure, untainted love

You are the kindness beneath my concern 
The victory that comes when I have won 
The inspiration that brings my vision to life 
The consideration that brightens even sunlight









Stanzas taken from my poems:

Real Beauty
God's Kiss
Whispers of Grace
If I Were A Star
What You Are

Caren Krutsinger February 27, 2021 at 3:02 AM This part was more than enough."If I were a star… I’d look down to those soft wishes Made on my twinkling shimmer Enlightening the heart with a quiver Of intimate hues that shadow the sparkle With halos of pure, untainted love" Good luck in the contest.
