My Advice As I Go

There are many kind wonderful souls and others helping us from the magical place. My advice, my child, as I prepare to leave you here, alone, with the human race, Is to find the ones who will build you up, and help you more easily reach your heartfelt goals. They will not allow you to live a frantic unlived life in a furious rat race. Get out your meditation tapes, prayer beads, crucifixes, fish tattoos and singing bowls. Listen to others; learn a lot, embrace their feelings, build them up, and admire their face. Love and appreciate nature, take liberating open-your-heart carefree strolls, Your soul will smile, your muse will laugh, and your caring ways will help others to meet their goals. Written July 12, 2018 For: Gregory R. Barden's My Muse, Mortal Contest

Such wisdom and motherly grace in this wonderful write, Caren, and while it "appears" at the bottom of the list, that is random, and VERY little separated 1st from last in this contest - the closest, richest I've had the joy to judge! I love the build and theme of this gem, your unusual, honest phrasing, and the care that you always put into your words - your big heart ALWAYS shows. Sincere congratulations on your FIFTH PLACE in the 'My Muse, Mortal' Poetry Contest - blessings, my friend! :-)
