    A man that listens to his inner voice and is lead by the Lord is indeed strong and free. For that matter so are women. Not many people listen to the inner voice they have which I believe is the Lord talking to us. When we go against it, things often go wrong. That voice is usually right. 5/5

    Ingrid,

    Inner strength
    ^
    This title is indeed powerful, but not of the obvious kind, more the kind that eminates from within. I believe that you can see this in a person who believes. It is like a silent force that gives them confidence in all they do.

    Strong and free is he
    ^
    I understand this line on more than one level. On it basic level, God is seen as strong, powerful. On another level, this strength/ power is to me, reliability. In regards to the word 'free' well there is no cost for his love, or indeed the power felt by having faith.

    guided by his inner voice
    ^
    Here we have a meaning of what 'faith' can provide, a voice, a reliable sence of love that is always there, showing you the way and giving you the belief in yourself because no matter the outcome his love is there, unconditional and true.

    and lead by our Lord
    ^
    Like a star, his light shines our footfall and helps us choose the path of happiness.

    Ingrid, this is a description of the word 'Power' but not in the obvious sense. It is a clever interpretation and one that makes the reader think about themselves.

    Well done

    ((hugs))

    Awww Ingrid, such an inspirational poem. The one who looks inside themselves for the answers to life and the ones that seek help from God, always come out on top :]
    A fabulous poem, you always manage to say so much, with so little wording. Awesome :]
    5/5

    Aw, I liked this one. It was a powerful little bugger. I feel it really captures inner strength. Many of us rely on religion to give us inner strength and I like how you underlined that.

    What a beautiful piece you have written, your words are so touching and true. Very in-deepth and powerful for such a small amount of words. 5/5 from me, take care and keep writing always and forever!

    You're so good at these, I really enjoy reading them, I think it's like a speciality of yours or something ;]
    I can't leave massive comments on short poems usually because it's hard to intertwine lots of imagery into 10-15 words, but this was great use of the word 'power', and I'd love to see you write more. Excellent.
