When

When - one is faithful
love fulfills thy heart

When - one is joyful
smiles engulf thy lips

When - one is kind
happiness replaces thy pain

When - one looks towards heaven
truth cradles thy spirit for eternity

This is beautiful and very inspiring! Encouraging words as these are really needed with all the evil, hate, and violence in the world. Our entire nation would be a better Oma e if everyone embraced live, joy, and kindness! Beautiful poem Rhoda!

Thank you so much for your comment - As I stated the word 'When' can be very powerful. Too bad people can't open their hearts and allow some more 'Whens' inside when needed - ya know?...rg

Rhoda,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
