“And the smile that is worth,
The praises of earth,
Is the smile that shines through tears.” 🖤😭So incredibly beautiful.🙏

“...But once in a while”. That last line was perfection

What a beautiful poem! It expresses so well what you can see in the smile of others, a smile which reflects everything, both love and sorrow.

Good poems! Life is a struggle and even when it is in the balance because of the desire of my enemies I will still fight their evil until victory. I have mad love for the most worthy man and passion among other things. When we love in silence, at a distance, then from this our feelings are only stronger over the years to then fall in an avalanche of tsunami on the beloved and give us unreal happiness, which no one on Earth has never felt ever and with anyone!)

I find myself really wanting to read her poetry now.

This level of spiritual strength just doesn’t exist in society anymore, that’s why men give up too easily on life and prove not to be worth while

Two yet sperate nature's that define outstanding examples of "EXQUISITE" existing here, one being the submission itself. The other being the Submitter of material of this such. Much appreciation from me to that individual and for the tasteful sharing! 💕
