~Soul Advice~

Always love unconditionally without counting the cost
Shine a light of love so that souls will n’er be lost
Smile through adversity giving all that you can
Offer your hand in friendship to your fellow man
Be there whenever the day seems to miss desire
Offer to warm up others in the heat of love's fire
Never give up no matter how hard the road ahead
Don’t become vain let others take the praise instead

Always wear a smile and wear it through the day
Give out love to all as you pass along your way
Take time to look around you seeing real beauty
Rest your eyes in wonder take note of what you see
Think before you speak now consider what you say
Carry love within you each and every day
Don't live in regret speak words that are true
Just try to be honest loving and only ever you

Always try your best no matter what you do
Give all you can, others need your support too
Don’t fear failure you can learn more from this
Everyone at sometime has felt sorrow’s sad kiss
Try not to worry about any of your mistakes
Get up and try again for you have what it takes
Stand and face the world come look it in the eye
One day you'll find that you can finally fly

Marsha, darling girl. Your poem, "Soul Advice", I find very precious. May I respond with a little poem of my own, inspired by your words?

Walking down a winding road one dark day
I heard an angel singing in the air
Sweet music from a harp of God in play
I looked and listened as she sang so fair.

You must love unconditionally, free
And shine your light to other souls out there
Give of yourself all peace and joy you see
And never fear just sail into the air.

And should you fall, get up, and rise again
Never worry 'bout mistakes or sorrow
Do not dwell on losses, grief or your pain
For the sun will be brighter tomorrow.

Get up! Go try again, dry you tears, smile
One day you'll fly up through the sky
As you soar across the blue, many miles
All you can see look squarely in your eye.

This darling angel sang these words to me
And now I'm flying like she said. See? Whee!
  
Your poetry just gets better and better and better. I love it Marsha, and I love you! xo

((Marsha))

So very uplifting, Marsha...

Stand and face the world come look it in the eye
One day you'll find that you can finally fly

I love this philosophy ((hugs))

Any stanza could have stood, proudly,
on its own, but put together, they were
sage advice belying a great wisdom,
especially looking the storm in the eye,
and beating the worse it has to offer.

Marsha, this really was a splendid write,
with a great presentation.
