What a nice poem to get up in the morning with. Love your stanza & the words say so much. We all need to renew our lives at times & this Poem gets one into doing just that

For beauty comes in many forms
outward glow or that within
Your smile tells me, this I know
that you have happiness within

Excellent work. Your beauty is shining through. Keep it up.

Jewell,
This is the second poem I have read today that deals with ridding yourself of the self-doubt and fear that retricts our forward progress. I think this is a sign for me. LOL.
Very well written verse, full of your passion for life.
Thank you for sharing.
all my best
flo

I love poetry tuned to scripture. I enjoyed this
piece a lot. You've imaged it nicely and the
theme is one of being happy and fulfilled. I do
have to make one comment though,
Feel the joy that's waiting you
Seems this would read more properly and smoothly as;
Feel the joy awaiting you

Best wishes. :} fly

I do not know about other who have read this but I am certainly lifted up, on high! God has given you a gift to share with those in need of it and those who long for it. I think I fit in both those catagories! This is wonderful in every way, such power in the words, a very silky flow and your heart weaved through every line! Loved it so much, Jj! You really are a Jewell!!!

New life is what it is about. You touch on great points. Not looking back for me is the best part for it is important to take what you have learned and move forward to a brighter light. Thanks for the read.

P.S. Is the word newess supposed to be newness? Also, one small note, maybe use punctuation all the way through or none at all. Just a thought.

Geez Jewell,

Talk about touched by an Angel or words chasing the heart...this is simply beautiful. A prayer of happiness for the future, leaving sad and old times behind. I really felt this one.

Thankyou,
Lainee :)

From out of the shadow of death he climbs seeking the dream left in the burn of troubled life to start a new, reborn of spirit and faith. Blood cleans and water washes and wine goes down so smooth. Wonderful write filled with joy and image.. Old to New enjoyed the ride.. Thanks again.. Walt

How beautiful! I really love poems that uplift my spirit and this one truly does that. The picture you have chosen is lovely and seems to go well with the poem. Well done.

Those ashes are still HOT, you bet I am going to arise. Oh, that's just figurative, oh, ok. Very well written admonishment for us all, thank you. Jim
