This spiritual poem, Secret to Life, is set up well with rhyming couplets in quatrains. The message reminds us to forgive and get along as we are living under a state of grace. Nice.

Teri,

You have penned a very fine poem. It is so uplifting and I enjoyed all your positive rhymed lines in this. I know for one that you do exactly what you have written here.

I really liked the following lines:

"When for others a smile does reside.
Keeps away feelings we must sometimes hide.

When we reach out to our sisters and brothers,
It's so much better when we help each other"

Thank you for sharing this poem of faith and
encouragement...It's a beautiful reminder for us.

Linda

I was so blind for years that I should have been bumping into walls. Not literally, of course, but until we find the right path we are all blind. I'm sure this fine poem will touch someone's heart. Great job. :-)

I can't find really anything wrong with your poem here, but I was not particularly compelled by it either. I appreciate the sentiment behind it, but the rhymes felt a bit easy and flat, without making any really bold statement of belief, philosophy or experience. I feel that's why I can't strongly identify with it, due to it feeling generic and not intimately personal, at least to me.

Your poem speaks highly of helping others and having compassion for our fellow man. Your words are very inspirational, positive and upbeat. I hope that someone who is feeling down and need some uplifting words, reads your inspiring poem. The flow is nice, and the rhyming is good making the read smooth. Good job with this write.

Much has been written about the value of positive thinking and this poem promotes the importance of seeking the joyful aspects of life and sharing them with others. The source of the speaker's happiness and joyful attitude is belief and trust in Jesus, and the speaker invites the reader to find happiness the same way.
