Faithfully

F orever searching
A lways in need of God
I ntellect too high to see
T he simple truth for all but me
H opefully someday I’ll know
F ulfillment in my heart will show
U nlock this hidden door of mine so I may see the truth behind
L ove will come in greater splendor
L onging for caring arms so tender
Y earnings rewarded  love will be accorded

Thank you, Linda. I will try to be here more often, but with the wife working and me having to drive her, my time is limited. I am in awe of some of your poems. I can't see me getting to your level, but I will try. Regards, Colin.

Hello Colin,,, Thank you for the comment on my comment. I am looking forward, in hearing from you again. You will enjoy this site, I guaranteed or my fun poetry name isn't PD :) I highly recommend the blog area, there you can read what is hot, and what is going on here at The Poetry Soup. If you like click on some of the side features ((-UNDER- the area where it reads "Member Poets/Poems")) to the left of this comment. -That's my favorite soup section. If you scroll down to where it reads "Contests" you will enjoy the "Contest Winners: Member " feature. Click away, and check out what's cooking. Enjoy reading and following, many of the incoming winners. "I SURE DO." Please feel free to comment and read any of my poems, if you'd like. My poems are not the easiest to understand:) I'm still learning myself. However, I enjoy encouraging others. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I might be able to help, if not I will recommend someone. Take Care~LINDA~

Thank you, Anne. I love this site. People are very friendly. I do like to keep it simple and drama free. Life should be drama free but it usually isn't. This site relieves the stress.

Hey Colin, What a great acrostic, Well done, I noticed your question to Poet destroyer, there is not an option for a Naani in the forms posting, it is most often posted under Verse. Welcome to poetry soup, have fun with it and write on =)

Thank you, Linda. I am new here so it takes a while to get around in here especially at my age. I love the way the site is arranged. I know I will enjoy it. One thing I can't find is the Nanni form of poetry when posting? Regards, Colin.
