Hi, Debbie,
"Heart and Soul" is an excellent poem. I think that you have shown that life is more than just surface things in this couplet structured poem with excellent rhyme, flow and figurative language and imagery (the talents we hone).

I couldn't have said it better myself.
Plain and simple. Some of the points should register automatically with us, unfortunately, some see understand too late.
Good write, lovey rhyming couplets with a strong delivery.

Hi Debbie,

a very clever and direct look at life... showing life's positives and not the stayed conclusions.

Loved the content... enjoyed reading the refrain in this wonderfully rhymed set of couplets... beautifully penned my dear friend... a truly exceptional display.

With our thoughts we create,
workable goals,
James xx

    Hi James, good to hear from you, dear friend. I hope you are feeling better. It's not much fun getting old and sick. I try to make the best of it. Easier done some days than others. Glad you enjoyed my poem. Take care, my friend~Debbie xx

Good morals expressed in couplets giving us direction to the right way to think, behave and improve our morale. The poem would make an excellent contest entry

Very insightful and deep. I tell my husband and my three grandsons that I am raising, as a matter of fact, I give this very same message to anyone in my life who is having a hard time dealing with something. You took the words right out of my mouth. Life is not about what you have but about how you deal and what you feel. Thanks for passing such an awesome message on.

Dear Debbie - a wonderful list of all we seem to think life is about. We know different, and it is nice to see your poem offering your wisdom. Well penned work my friend.
Thanks for sharing.

True, that, DEBBIE. Life, and all of the wonderful material possessions that God gifts us with, means very little if we have no own with which to share it. It's akin to owning a horse ranch sans horses, or a daycare center with no children. Useless, senseless and an over indulgence, at best.

Loved the presentation done in a calm purple, with rhyming couplets. Nice choice!

Great work.

Nice poem. It does have a point.

However, for me - life is about working all morning outside in hot, humid weather. Then having lunch, taking a shower, and afterwards watching your Lab react to his dreams as he lies against your leg - while you sit at the head of your bed, taking online surveys.

Thanks for sharing this. JW
