Works and Words
We are not a who but what.  

Are you a name or are you
what million little things you do?
We forget that our life speaks
repeatedly by works and words. So
do right and let love speak loudly.

Be a better being; that

better self that sees beyond I.
Today, let love perceive what hate cannot,
than conceit is too deaf to hear.
You choose - kindness or spite? What
were, upon rising, your grand plans for you?

Yesterday is lost. Today, what will your actions say?

Lately, I have been missing doing the things that I truly enjoy doing. I work so much, who has time for recreation? But, that is no way to live life, so I am once again playing with words. . . .and with genealogy, but that is another story. 

When at times you are too tired to think, it is hard to feel inspired though. So, I decided to play around with the golden shovel poetic form once again. Then, I decided to make it a double shovel, maybe even triple. LOL. Isn't it like me to get carried away with things? 

Regardless, I hope you enjoy my poetic pastime! Remember there is meaning to the poem as well. Be sure to be aware of how your words and actions affect others - and what they say about you as an overall person. May we always strive to "be a better being."

Heavenly Father, may my words and my actions be ones that bring You joy. Where there is discord, may I find a way to weave in words and actions that lead to peace. I have failed in this feat many times, but with You guiding me, I can become a person that speaks kindness, love and compassion. In Christ's name I pray. ~ Amen
