Noteworthy

Joe Doaks was a hardened criminal
the truth about him wasn’t subliminal.
Then he met a sweetheart
who gave him a new start.
Now he leads a prison choir with a hymnal.

This was fun, he should have married a nun and stayed on the run.

Thank you, Richard. But it's you who is writing some truly awesome poetry. "Big Girls Do Cry" is superb. It's deeply touching. Congrats. Paul

Thank you, Connie. Your kindness gives me the courage to face a blank computer screen, and for that I can't thank you enough. Hugs, Paul

Thank you, Lindsay. I like your point. We should never give up on anyone. Where there is life there is hope. Showing love is, as I know you know, often the key to turning lives around. Hugs, Paul

Hello Paul. Nice limerick. i see you are still at them. Actually, I personally have known a few reformed criminals who participate in church services regularly.

Thanks for commenting, Daniel. You make a good point. I think that reformed criminals, having experienced life's dark side, welcome the light that church services provide. * * * All the best to you and your cherished ones.
