“great Souls Live In Crooked Bodies” Poem by Ray Lucero

''Tis true my form is something odd, but blaming me is blaming god. Could I create myself anew, I would not fail in pleasing you. Was I so tall, could reach the pole, or grasp the ocean with a span; I would be measured by the soul. The mind's the standard of the man.' -poem often quoted by Joseph Carey Merrick (the Elephant Man) written by Isaac Watts

another great stuff from u, nice

Awesome poem, Ray -as always! : D

Very true Ray, all too easy to make a quick judgement. Moyax

Reminds me of the saying, never judge a book by it's cover. Great write Ray. Patricia Gale

We are all souls and we are brother in relation. God is supreme soul. He has love to all. We must offer love to one another. A marvelous poem is amazingly shared.10

We must offer love to one another then the world will be better.

Touching indeed. Reminds me of a quote I've read recently. It goes: One doesn't have to gain respect. Respect is due to everyone. It's another thing whether or not we manage to keep to it.

Most beautiful such a profound message. Thanks for this one.

Nothing in life is crooked Save our attitudes and sights Which maketh our minds wicked And causes jealousy and fights....... One may have a perfect body but a crooked well hidden brain which can cause all the problems that the world is presently suffering from. A great poem by Ray. Sir, I invite you to my page too for your valuable comments.
