Believe In Oneself
Faith within gives hope
to one’s soul
Giving strength to a
weakened heart
The spirit conquers a
lost goal
Teaches the mind a
youthful art
Take one’s struggles
cast them aside
Worry none about those
who play
Care for yourself with
special pride
Become strong -
emotions won’t stray
The light shines on you
with a glow
Knowing your strength
is stronger now
Because you are
learning how to grow
Come now take a
fabulous bow
Come now take a
fabulous bow
Because you are
learning how to grow
knowing your strength
is stronger now
The light shines on you
with a glow
Become strong -
emotions won’t stray
Care for yourself with
special pride
Worry none about those
who play
Take one’s struggles
cast them aside
Teaches the mind a
youthful art
The spirit conquers a
lost goal
Giving strength to a
weakened heart
Faith within gives hope
to one’s soul

Hourglass Poetry Form contains 8 syllables per line three stanzas and a
rhyme scheme of
abab, cdcd, efef - Once written the poem is turned upside
down and each line
is repeated - It must make sense both ways...rg
I received the following email from a fellow poet...
ReplyDeleteHello Rhoda,
I am so glad that you have decided to continue with your site. I just wish that I could write. At the moment my words have dried up. I just hope that my muse soon returns as I miss writing.
May your site continue to flourish.
Love Jan xx
Thank you Jan for the lovely encouraging email. Yes, I am happy about my decision. I know your words will come to you again - give it time and be patient for your words are longing to come out from deep within your soul...rg
