They say it is safe to live in a sturdy Home
What is a home ?
Is it the place where we lay our heads or Our minds?
Being around for half a century, I learn to not let the big bad wolf in
Who are the wolves, we are worn about?
Thieves
Narcissist
Manipulators
Intimidators
Bad Luck
Negativity
What ever they might be?
Do you have a mighty fortress?
How does one protect it?
Prayers
Positive uplifting words
Could you focus on the goal until it comes to be?
What is in your control at that moment of crisis?
Preparation
keep on learning
Never give up
Isolation from bad influences
( I Hope you enjoy my list poem)
I would love your feedback!!!

Excellent wisdom… “They say it is safe to live in a sturdy Home What is a home ? Is it the place where we lay our heads or Our minds?”
Eyes on the prize, always 😁
Warned about but we don't get enough information to know what to look for exactly ... right? Nice Mariann💗
Very empowering piece Mariann! Putting on the whole armor of God, using discernment, & keeping the mind eye stayed upon God and his blessings & promises helps me to guard the homestead of my mind. Thx 4 sharing this! I loved the message!
This was extremely powerful, optimistic, profound and uplifting! Loved your poem!
Very nice! Well done 👍.
Well written, Mariann. My greatest fears are: Negativity, The Manipulators, and the Narcissists (Too familiar with them). Not easy to build a fortress against these!
I like the encouragement to protect oneself from negative influences with positive thoughts. Very cleverly written poem!
Very thoughtful piece. I was stopped by the line about what is in our control at times of crisis. Well done, Mariann :)
Very nice how you wrote this, great style with a deep meaning Well done
