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 <-@
