well said, enjoyed the read

Thank you for reviewing my latest article Ron, you are one great person whose hand I would gladly take and together we will continue to help heal the world with the rest of our kindred brothers and sisters the best way we can.

I LOVE this, it speaks to the heart.

AND THAT IS THE 'TICKET' TO WORLD PEACE...HAND AND HAND WITH 'LOVE' FOR 'EVERY' SISTER AND BROTHER. THERE'S JUST NO OTHER WAY. GREAT WORK, RONALD AND THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

A thoroughly enjoyable work of art.

Nobody could have said it better Ron. Nobody....

"Take My Hand", so lovely written! Merry Christmas, Ronald.

Such depth of love and beauty within this poem - should it explode the consequences would be world changing.

Much thought has gone in to your poem, it reads with such a gentle pace and offers a chance of grace for our race. Superb!

Positively Exquisite, Brother!

Beautiful!

"For you know how I feel,
when you understand,
and side-by-side we stand,
in a world we never planned."

My wife and I were inspired by these words in our current situation.

Great poem!

Lovely. :)

Oh, wow, Ronald, one of your best. I could see it all so clearly. Very strong poem. Such love in it.

Have you a tune for this? Reads like a community-building rallying cry in the style of visionaries like Luther King. A wonderful dream, Ron; we have just to make it real. And it's true, hand-holding is extremely up-building, soothing and literally connective. All barriers go down when we simply hold hands. Nice one! :) xx

Love this reminder to love one another!!!


Take my hand dear friend,
Together forever, to a journey's end.
Let's skip and dance, to this rhyme,
That takes us back to another time.
We will never forget those that pass,
That shared their stories, the kind that last.
We live through others, the words they write,
Living, loving, passion, and fight.
Each new day brings memories past,
A wonderland of time, sure went fast.

Take my hand...dear friend..
Loved this one!
Teresa

A very nice poem. A nice memory of days that were nice and not so nice simultaneously.

Excellent Ron! Taking your hand and the hand of our sister, and brother is what it means to be real. Being real with each other is certainly a wonderland.

Peace,

This makes me think of the first ways we as a country tried to make everyone equal and then they wanted to be better, or richer or more powerful and ruined the original attempt of walking and standing side by side,

No better time of year than this for such a poem.
Thanks for sharing.

Love and togetherness, oh my I'm a kid again, surrounded by simple notions. It's nice to be young and be inspired by simple and clean messages. I remember that song too Ron. I'm getting older. Am I ever...Bob

a wonderful utopian vision ... feel like i'm back in the 60's ...

A universal message continuing to be unheard. But... echoes have a habit of coming back around. There is hope.

All you need is love.....if only.
Heartwarming.

Loved this one! Should be made into a song! Beautiful

RON... Very apropos for the Season.

Made me think of Lenin's "Give Peace a Chance" ... also the Beatles
"I Wanna Hold Your Hand" ...

HAPPY HUGS & HOLIDAYS !

I like this one a lot, Ron. It seems to contain a lot of emotion. Often, when I read one of your poems, I will have my wife stop whatever she's doing, and I will read it aloud. As a result, the piece becomes more alive and rooted into one's soul. Besides, she likes to hear them, too. But that's the teacher in me. This is one of those poems that I would have my students learn and recite before the class. In college, we were taught to refrain from having students memorize poetry, that it made them hate it. Shortly after I landed a teaching job, I quickly decided that I had a mind of my own and was basically free to teach the way I pleased. Perhaps I should have simply stated, "I liked this piece." On the other hand, sometimes a piece will cause me to go off on a dissertation of sorts.

Are you a stranger in paradise or
a stranger with a pair of dice?
Either way, this is a great roll of the dice!

This poem warms one's heart. I will save this.

Love ya!

Excellent message! Your poetry is always inspirational, and never fails in bringing thought-provoking and worldly topics to your readers. Thanks for being good to me this year and for the reviews Ron. Blessed Be.

Hi Ron, a nice poem. Very appropriate for the season and all your round as well. Gob bless you, my brother....Dennis

This is very special, Ron. I sincerely hope when the time comes she will reach out and take your hand.
