Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

God Has Been Good

   God's Been Good

Yes, I realize for many He has 
no place.
But we pray for those to find His
grace.
To stop adoring their human face.

So much in good in life to do!
To tutor, to visit the ill.
And stop thinking as poets we
are kings and queens of the hill.

There are those in nursing homes,
who might like a visit or two.
Or soldiers who sacrificed their 
bodies that are injured, for you!

Maybe our neighbor down the
street, the widow, lonely she sits.
Alas, we are obsessed with our
poetic mindset?

Your parchment and pen, will
not go away,
If, from a few feet of your desk 
stray.

"And if you do good to those who
only do good to you, what credit
is that? Even sinners do the 
same!"

Why do we comment to only
those who comment to us?
Why not jump into the Soup,
full force?
Realizing God is our source?

Anne-Lise Andresen February 23, 2023 at 2:51 AM - We live in a cocoon that a caterpillar spins around itself... protect ourselves... don't know our nearest neighbor... don't talk to people we don't know... a cold and lonely world. Pangie - I have worked with elderly and sick people all my adult life - (But, I like to read the poems of those who read mine ... a friendly thing to do ) - hugs Panagiota Romios February 23, 2023 at 9:05 AM Yes do read poems of those who read you. There are many ignored here. And would we write if there were none! I do. Working with the elderly gives you compassion. And I agree, we don’t know many people. People act as if they have no time….I don’t understand that. They are retired, lol. Pangie

Darlene De Beaulieu February 21, 2023 at 11:51 AM Hello Panagiota, When i lived in a small town with my belated husband, we made chocolates for the people in nursing home.

Joseph P. DiMino February 21, 2023 at 11:37 AM "So much in good in life to do!" -- we should keep alert for any opportunity, to help and bless others. Our duty as Christians and as citizens of this great nation. Panagiota Romios February 21, 2023 at 12:03 PM Hi Prince~Any person, can do good. Regardless of religious or no religious affilation. There are many faiths represented at the Soup. I was speaking of God, generically. Squirrels get more honor here, or the wind! I was just expressing how I feel….” Do good to others”. I am Proud you had the chutzpah to respond. Good for you. Thank you. Panagiota

Fin Chuuk February 21, 2023 at 5:39 AM I regularly go to a nursing home in Connecticut. At least twice a week. To walk in there is pure heartfelt. But I enjoy going there regardless. As being new here on soup, I also enjoy reading and commenting on anyone whom I admire, love, or inspire by. And also just because I really enjoy all of you beautiful poets work of arts. Thank you girly, hugs :) Panagiota Romios February 21, 2023 at 7:25 AM Fin! How I admire your contribution to humanity. Glad you let me know of this, i ounce was part of the Holiday Hospital Prohect. Especially on holidays we’d visit, sing and spend time with those in nursing homes. It’s heart wrenching to see the elderly…so lonely, we need thousands like you , Fin! You are a welcome new addition ti this poetic community. You’re welcome and here and thank you very much. Hugs, Pangie
