written years passed, wanting to get feed back from author den's readers
Have you ever read..
A great and touching poem or statement.
And your life and heart is pounding and expressing..
Emotions contained within..
That makes you see Life..
What is really true ,
Or have you seen beauty in surroundings..
As a flower, breeze or captured in a picture of art.
Whether it be a play or demonstration..
Of events passed or future..
Then it will say" Author Unknown.".
And suddenly Sadness fill your being..
For credit and glory should be told..
How foolish! We exclaim Who..
When down inside our soul,
The answer is told...
Lies the builder and the Maker
Of all the things, past, future, and yet untold...
Is His, and yet we fail to see...
His signature...
Our Lord the creator of all..
In this I claim for His glory! Evermore.

in this poem you have missed both smaltz and smaltzy heresy. as such it rates high marks--the trouble with it, and i acknowledge that the poem goes back 24 years, is that you did not "finish the check": you did not push the thought all the way home. What are the implcations of the phrase "..the Creator of all.."? How is is creation signed?
Poetry. Various urgent, lively, and sometimes haunting poems appear here alongside stark black and white photos of Jones' homeless subjects. Jones takes on the plight of the homeless in different voices, echoing the thoughts of people on the streets,
Intuitively, I know I've lived many lifetimes, and none more interesting than the one I'm living now. However, being born an old soul somehow did not excuse me from the same job I share with you and that is learning to craft a positive attitude about
