We hold true to our convictions
as determined through belief.
We deny our contradictions
as would worry us to grief.
.
We deliver our devotions
with dedicated verve.
We limit our emotions
with bundles in reserve.
.
We prize with admiration
every skerrick of our soul.
We lack the dedication
to surrender our control.
.
Through trust our faith is born;
make not 'must' that it be sworn.

A first impression has a lasting effect - it makes a notable difference. In a subtle way that’s who I am as a poet. A ‘first impression’ looking for the gentle ‘twist’ that draws attention to a novel observation.
