Soran! ! ! ! I too am finding it difficult to find a poem by you that I haven't read before. But I shall persevere- I often find so much more in a poem lying waiting to be discovered upon the second or third or fourth reading and so I am enriched by returning so let us not apologize to each other for reading deeper and enjoying richer! Thank you for finding these elements of my personality to be likeable- -I shall continue to skip over the less pleasant aspects of my personality! ! ! ! !
I LOVE KINDNESSES of all kinds and all textures in all places of the heart and the soul.

Suresh- - What a kind and lovely thing for one human to say to another human- - Thank You! And Bless You for lifting me up.
And the more we like and do, Robert, the rounder our heart gets! ! !
In other words, you're, perfect. And I totally agree! And it's okay, I said it, not thee.
Never perfect- -totally imperfect- gives me a lot to work on! ! ! ! Hey Sandra! ! !
Lovely lines loaded with laudable lessons. A splendid snapshot of the soul that shows the likes of the poet. It moves so beautifully from the human to the Devine. Well done my friend! .
Thank you, Howard! ! ! I found it difficult at first to try to describe myself and then thought to talk about what I like, what I love, what I would not have a full life without. I wish other friends here would try this out- I would love a glimpse of the person behind the pen!
You love horses as per age and time with counting life well spent. You love books as these teach you and take you places you have never been. You love write in order to express feeling. You love kindness to be a divine soul. You love God because he has given you challenges to make yourself strong and he has given you good things. Fantastically you have inscribed this poem, dear madam, it attracts the readers to read over and over again. Thank u for this gem.

God is love So you have all the loves You can get and give......good work!
Your love towards horses, books, writing, kindness and above all to God is OK with reason. I appreciate your penmanship. I like most lines are... I LOVE GOD. He is my Heavenly Father now taking care of my earthly Father He has given me good things to give me ease and given me challenges to make me strong and given His Son Christ Jesus to bring me back home. Thanks for sharing.
An impressive and wonderful list of loves. The title does suggest a challenge to discover oneself beginning with what we love the most and/or is important in our lives. I certainly take nothing for granted now as my nursing career has shown how life events can change peoples lives in a flash, beyond comprehension, which has taught me to appreciate what I have and what I can do for now. I am really enjoying your poems Susan.
My Mother fulfilled her life's ambition to become a nurse when I was in high school- - that taught me a lot about my Mother as a human being not as just a Mom.... nurses are the best kind of people if you ask me! ! ! ! So blessings shower down on you, Nurse Simone! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Susan - You are a poet at home in your own skin, in love with horses, books and life. I sense the deep acceptance your faith gives you through the joys and struggles of life. But mostly it is your graciousness and beauty of heart and soul that shines through these lines. I sense your thoughtful reflective nature. what a gift to have come upon your work.10++++++++
Norah, I am so glad we stumbled on each other- PH is so huge that I am amazed at the good fortune I have had meeting lovely-hearted and talented people to share this journey with.

Thank you, Rebecca. I'm glad I survived my own young foolishness too! ! I had a great active life up to a few years ago so I'll count it all good and thank the Lord for it. I hope others on this site have had as active and fulfilling life in all that they have pursued. I have a feeling that with your natural wellspring of enthusiasm that your life is filled with all kinds of adventure! Which is good for writers!
It gives us such a lovely picture of your life...riding, reading, writing...great activities, productive and fulfilling. And to crown these come kindness and faith that make you who you are...a beautiful soul. A beautiful poem that fills the reader with positiveness and energy. And as always i must add, a style of writing that sounds like music, flowing smoothly. A big 10.
I appreciate this comment, Nosheen, and to be thought kind is heart-warming, it really is. Faith, though, is a lovely way to live- -helps us get through the hard times and see a light in the window. You write a very poetic comment, I shall give you a big 10 too! ! ! ! ! !
I sincerely admire your stature as a good equestrian! Loved this wonderful poem. Top score!
