Happy New Year

Heroes and heroines are as large as life,
Aptly named for their service to mankind,
Personally involved, with valor in strife,
People whose light will always shine.
Yaweh sends them as guides and prophets.

New born babes have these potential makings,
Even as, in this new year, do you and I.
We may never fully complete our undertakings,

Yet we will hope, live, laugh, sing and cry,
Every one borne and born in subliminal veracity.
Activate the heroes and heroines within to try
Revering new,.. and all life.. as  LOVE's sagacity





Inspired by Carol Brown's 
Acrostic contest.

This is a most magnificent message Robert! Poignant and so very true. We all come into the world with a purpose that God intended for us...and it is up to each of us to fulfill His wishes and commands. Love is the key factor to a better world...Unconditional Love like our Father has for each of us! Thanks so much for sharing and for your always kind comments and words of encouragement and understanding. All is so very deeply appreciated! Have a gloriously blessed evening! ~Mary

Wonderful Acrostic, Robert! I like,especially the second verse. Most people fail to realize that each baby, each of us is born with a specific task to do, hence, my objection to abortion! Thanks for all your kind comments on my poems! Peace and love, Audrey
