~~2025 Inspirational Poetry~~
The fiery darts of the enemy are all around; family, this is NOT the time to crouch down... ๐คบ๐ก๏ธ
ALWAYS be ready for the duel, like a fencer wielding their favorite tool... ๐คบ๐ก๏ธ
With the Bread of Life, Spirit of Truth, and Shield of Faith on your side, know that you've effectively been equipped for the battle and that the enemy MUST now promptly retreat to find a place to hide... ๐คบ๐ก๏ธ

Let's Don't Do This
"I just can't do this anymore..." "Do what?" What can't you do? Put gas in your own car? I swear to God you make me take care of everything, don't you? You know I'm on my way to work right now but that never stops you from bothering me, does it?"

What an encouraging and wonderful message! Thank you, for sharing it with us!
Some of those fiery darts got to me and so I was away from Vocal for a while because of that. Running back to your poems to be strengthened again, thank you for arming me with the: Bread of life, Spirit of truth and the Shield of faith.๐๐ฝ๐คโฅ๏ธ
Well said... I hate fighting, but some are unavoidable!
En garde and ready for the good fight. Congratulations on the leaderboard win
Wooohooooo congratulations on your Leaderboard placement! ๐๐๐๐๐๐
Vocal needs an "Inspiring" insight. Everything about this is empowering. Your faith is a shield. Your words are your swords, and they cut deep. A call to battle. And it takes your own remarkable talent to make inspiration slam. โก๐โก
INSPIRING!!!!!
Dressed to the Ninesโฆ Armed to the Teeth!
This one is for my scattered family, some lovely, some feuding. Oh dear! Well met Tiffany, well met, Hope you watched Harry potter. Hope all is well with your family.
Encouraging Tiffany! I think there is this type of shield in the bible but I forget the context.. ๐ ๐ Hope your family are not encountering too many struggles.
Oooo, this was extremely powerful! Loved it so much Tiffy!
-Bread of Life, Spirit of Truth, and Shield of Faith- The perfect weapons to take 'em all down. Another great installment, Tiffa! ๐คฉ
Yes! Preach it!! Powerful words, Tiffany
I feel emotionally ready for battle!! Thanks for this, Tiffany! ๐คบ
Powerful and true! Just beautiful!
Yay! What a fabulous piece! ๐คบ It also reminded me to the director of a school of swordsmanship I interviewed some time ago.
A brevity of words for an epee-ic charge. Nicely & succinctly sending all forth into the daily fray.
Oh, I love the fencing metaphor, Tiffany!
Beautifully written. ๐๏ธ๐๐ซ๐ซ๐ซ๐ซ
Well-wrought! Do you fence, Tiffany? I can see you regally sporting a sword!
Well said โ stay strong and ready for whatever comes.
