Gems For the Soul

~ Gems For The Soul ~ ~><><~ I like the days ~ when hearts are happy Filled with rays ~ of sunshine bright Times are hard ~ but still enjoy life Show a façade ~ of contentment even The soul may be torn ~ but show a smiling face No need to mourn ~ for tomorrow is a new day Good friends you keep ~ for they are precious For them you weep ~ if they should ever leave Try always to be good ~ and to others be a blessing Like Jesus says we should ~ if we want to go to heaven Sometimes it’s only just one parent ~ show them love, honor and respect They may sometimes pay your rent ~ they always see you as their child Parents always show respect ~ love and care for your children God will certainly inspect ~ how you took care of your charge ~><><~ Written by: Joy Wellington For Constance La France ~ A Rambling Poet ~ Contest: Create Your Own Form, Maybe? This is my own form, the name is : “Inverted Rhyme” What I did is to rhyme my words that’s in the middle (or almost) of each sentence.

i finally looked up "facade" and it was so important in this poem. the line "Sometimes it's only one parent" touched me deeply. enen though i had both untill just recently. good job with the help of God. John Henry Loving III
