I've found it
in your smile,
and your warmth;
its been tested
through the good,
and tough times

the will to
never give up-
to live again.

lend a hand
to friends, and
strangers alike;
cast aside hate
towards mankind.

the opening of
the heart,
the sharing of
the soul

that is true
strength.

-Trina.

Isn't it the greatest thing to discover you have renewed hope? Nicely written as always Trina.

s1nfully_1nn0c3nt:

Yes, we get our sustenance and strength from opening up our soul to others--offering a helping hand whenever possible--and leaving the results up to our Higher Power. Even those that hurt us we can learn from--sometimes God tests our fortitude and forbearance to withstand negative remarks made by others about us--to see if as Christ said we can "Turn The Other Cheek". Not easy--but then again any kind of spiritual growth can be painful.

Nice poem honestly expressed!

Fine words of wisdom, especially like these lines.  "the will to
        never give up-
        to live again." Fine writing.
