Notes About The Poem

Light

Listen friend, mend your heart,
   Let it evade your snare,
Lest evermore it dies.
   Lift up your poor spirit
Lower your useless pride,
   Love is the just answer,
Light of Christ the right path.

Good Morning Victor. I know this must have two meanings but either way it is most beautiful. May there always be light. May there always be peace. And yes, may this always pertain to you now and always...................

Victor, the elegance of your poem illuminates the way to knowledge and happiness. a text that is both inspirational and instructive. Boost the modest soul we already have. Put a stop to those worthless ego responses since the only one that matters is compassion. Definitely!
