Painting pictures with words.
Opening a part of the soul.
Emotion flowing with the lines.
Tapestry skillfully woven.
Reflecting thoughts artfully.
Yearning to make a difference.

Faith--By Eleanor Michael--United States
Faith
Born into this life without knowledge, we muddle through with as much guidance as we can find, and at life’s end, we leave with as much dignity as we can muster.
Eleanor Michael has published poetry and short stories in a variety of venues.
Hello, Eleanor, it is good to read you here at Whispers. Your poem is a very poignant one and makes me think of all that we learn in growing and in family life with the examples we have. Your poem definitely is food for thought. Thank you for giving us privilege to read you! Hope to see more... Sheri / www.poetryandbeyond.net
Hello Eleanor, It seems we do search for guidance often in our youth. Even now, I pray for guidance. Sometimes people have illnesses that prohibit them from leaving Earthly life with little dignity. But I surely agree with all you said in this intuitive poem. Best wishes, Carolyn
