"Enthusiasm is nothing more or less than faith in action." Henry Chester

That exuberant feeling deep down inside,
      It isn’t energy and not quite pride.
           To complete acts of grandeur it sets the mind reeling.
                Deep down inside there is that exuberant feeling.

Knowing this you will achieve, in success you will bask.
       It’s a feeling of confidence that you can handle the task.
           An incentive of willpower to drive what you believe.
               In success you will bask knowing this you will achieve.

It’s when you feel eager for a well-considered attempt.
        Faith that you can conquer with all hesitations exempt.
            Its absent when the effort given to a project was meager.
               For a well-considered attempt, it’s when you feel eager.

Enthusiasm, a grand word, it came from the Greek nation. 
       Its meaning is “God within” which needs no explanation.
            The faith that you have will keep your soul stirred.
                It came from the Greek nation, enthusiasm, a grand word.

We will be immensely engaged in activities we enjoy,
      It’s no effort for full assertiveness to employ.
          With enthusiasm our full capability will be uncaged.
               In activities we enjoy we will be immensely engaged.
 
There will be no circumvention, nothing subdued.
       Living with genuine enthusiasm is having a positive attitude.
          Its essential for leading a meaningful life with good intention.
              Nothing subdued, there will be no circumvention.

Most children have a degree of enthusiasm at will.
       An eagerness and faith that there is nothing they cannot fulfill.
          A concept the fortunate will retain through adulthood to be.
              Of enthusiasm at will most children have a degree.

When enthusiasm is there, it takes away drudgery from deeds.
        It creates delight and incentive to the most mundane needs.
          God within our very soul, faith that we can achieve whatever we dare.
              It takes away drudgery from deeds when Enthusiasm is there.

This is the best definition I have read of enthusiasm in recent times. Dear Wendy, your poems are pregnant with meaning, full of observations and insights on life. Your yen for rhyming is envious. I am happy to see you rising everyday as a poet. "Living with genuine enthusiasm is having a positive attitude. Its essential for leading a meaningful life with good intention." So very true. This poem has shot a special enthusiasm in me to engage in activities that I enjoy with full enthusiasm. This goes into my FAVE.
