The author's words are interesting, descriptive, and creative. The poem
flows and connects well. One of things the words of this poem
conveyed for me is whether we are rich or poor we all are equal. Thank
you for the author's notes - the quotes are so hopeful! Thank you....

Some are rich, some are poor...
by royowen

Hello, Roy,

Beautiful poem with such gorgeous rhyme it reads like a song. In God's eyes we are equal, poor or rich...God loves us all the same. Great imagery and presentation. Well done.

I'm proud of the fact that you show solid doctrine as you express the relationship needed between man and God. Your words trigger so much emotion, esp. the way you string a phrase. One of my favorites: Is this mere chance or luck of stealth." Such unique phrasing by you alone throughout.

It's true that money talks. The more money you have, the more influence you have. While reading this wonderful contribution of yours, I was nodding my head in agreement that, yes, some are wealthy by luck or stealth, and in rare cases, sheer hard work. I enjoyed this poem; it was easy to read, and brimming over with your signature wisdom, my friend. Thank you for posting it xoxoxox

This is just SO beautiful Mr. Roy.
I see that you wrote it a few years ago.
Does this form have a name, or is it your own?
Might I borrow the 'form' sometime?
I love the way it reads.
I love the repeating lines,
and the ones you chose are very apt.
I also love your verses at the end.
So very needed these days.
I thought this was quite professional,
I lost myself in it.
Blessings...

    It?s similar to a Taknas poem that I created, nut you?re well come to use it dear, I would be honoured, I just place the first two of one verse and make them second in another verse, as long as they?re a strong refrain, thank you for stellar review, Judy, if anyone can do it you can, blessings Roy

-Good artwork and
presentation, Roy.
-A well written poem with
many good images showing
the difference between the
haves and the have nots.
-But you show how that
does not matter:
"We may be rich, we could be poor
we enter life by nature's door."
-Those are my favorite lines in the poem.
-Good concluding verses, too.

Faith to Conquer our Fears and Prayer to strengthen and steady our resolve. The line While some are poor and some have wealth
some live by luck -- and some by stealth reminds me of a passage to pray in our closets where God sees and hears our petion in secret. Thanks again for Sharing your poetry. Blessings

Your poem is presented well, Roy. I like the great rhymes, the smooth flow, and the way the message develops. It is clear that humans don't always know or 'get it right.' But God knows and does it as He planned. We may live our life with happiness or sadness--it is our choice. Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan
