Notes About The Poem

Author's Notes: Tender Emotions is a very interesting poetic theme that I did give some significant thought to. My focus here concerns what these special emotions may or could mean to each of us as we live out our daily lives in this mortal world we call Earth. I sought to highlight my perspective of what I see as the true purpose we each hope, seek, and aspire to as we endeavor to attain a spiritual oneness with our immortal soul.

Tender Emotions

Tender Emotions

Tender Emotions are very special and are nurtured and blossom
Deep within each person’s heart by the divine touch of God
Himself with His direct intention and holy inspiration.

It is up to every person as a mortal being on this Earth to seek out
Their own destiny whilst embracing the true purpose of this life
With the God-inspired goal of becoming spiritually one with their
Immortal Soul.

It is essential that each of us in this mortal life find and realize
This higher level of understanding and its ethereal importance in 
The sacred preparation for that special moment one day when one’s
Soul finally ascends to that most heavenly world in that eternal and
Infinite cosmic place known as The Great Beyond.

Tender Emotions are what defines us as human beings and makes 
Each of us so special in God’s eyes and in His own image, whilst
Imbuing each of us with His sense of hope, love, and true compassion
For one another, and the God-given inspiration to pursue our cherished
Dreams as we each live our lives to their fullest measure in this mortal
World we all call “Earth.”

Amen. Amen.

Deus miseratur. Deus vobiscum.
