Then let your tears be washed along,
So far away from here.

When you love, love fully, embraced with all your heart,
So when you find the one for you,
You’ll know it from the start.

Speak the truth and often, to people in your life,
Don’t go to bed with grudges held,
That only fosters strife.

Do random acts of kindness, but not for any gain,
Prove to the world that there is hope,
And so much more than pain.

When you laugh, laugh freely, and loud for all to hear,
For laughter shared with everyone,
Will only bring more cheer.

Dance amidst the raindrops, not caring who will see,
Show everyone who dares to look,
That you are blessed and free.

Sorry, d, you'll get no critiquing from me. :-) Just that I like it. It is very good solid advice put in a wonderfully poetic setting. I wish everyone would listen to you and live by these words.

You always speak with such wisdom dawn ... and makes me feel so incomplete.
(This is a good thing, I assure you)

It never fails to impress me how much strife and ill fate you've endured and
yet still find the peace of mind to speak of patience, kindness, love, but
most of all, forgiveness. I imagine this could be read as a mantra every
morning, or as a prayer each and every night. It is sound advice to pass
on to our children. And it is great advice we should all give ourselves.

You never cease to amaze, my dear. It is such a joy to know you.

The best poem and advice that i have read in a long time.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
