To Stir Men's Souls

Oh, for a poem to stir men's souls to remove pseudo-shackles, to set new goals Oh, for a lyric to move folks to cheer to cast off aspersions, to eliminate fear Oh, for a rhyme enabling spirits to climb to soar to new heights - airy, sublime Oh, for an idea to shine and shimmer to pass muster, yet glow on and glimmer Oh, for an age that rewards the courageous ~ understands that surrender's contagious

You missed this one, perhaps to make it seem better three weeks later than it actually is... Really appreciate the FAVE, Debra. Here's to whatever moves mankind to make positive strides. Smiles, Gershon

More power than a locomotive... Able to jump tall buildings at a single bound... Just call me 'Super-Gersh!' ~ Clark Kent

Good poem; good writing, gw. We all yearn for these things, methinks.

Yes, indeed. Please continue yearning. I'm trying to take the 'y' off the front of that word. ~ Shekels from Heaven
