Worth


 

Around the world in circles turning


Earning what we can


Take a chance to light another’s day


Before their lives are blotted out


A person’s character lives from within


Do it with patience and tenacity times two;


Sing, and others will sing your song


Keep it moving, check the pulse, don’t despair


If you found the meaning of truth


Don’t let anyone tempt you with heaven or hell


Find the reason to live on – not to die


Someone’s got to win in the human race;


The so-called teachers and preachers will just buy and sell you


Let knowledge hang around your neck like pearls


Poor people just don’t understand


Be just what you are – take them by the hand


If you are what you are  . . .


But never forget, always look over your shoulder;


Try to make everything in your life just as it should be


And dream of a better life ahead


Don’t play the game of here today and gone tomorrow


Live for ever on the ever ever


If you’ve found the secret try not to blow it


Take a chance to light another’s way.

You've made me think, Tink...and not always something I really wqnt to do so early in the morning...but what I'm thinking has profoundly found it's way from your pen to this page is that even with all the confusion and strife in this huge world, the individual can , at the least, set a good example in whtever way they chose, and do some good.
Good Morning!
Love,

"Worth" is worth its weight in gold, a life lesson is only learned through diligent dedication in your purpose and treasuring gifts bestowed, then shared...Love this!

Jesus said you must have love, and to love one another. To be as God has requested of us in his living word. Without love nothing else matters. This is a inspirational poem thank you!

Tinks ...

Imparting life and love into anothers life is of the highest priority for me Sissy. If we can't share wisdom and love and help one another we have failed in our God given purpose in this life.

A profound and solid write. The collaboration is blossoming like a verdant garden. Bravo and Brava to both of you.

Light and Wisdom ...

A person’s character lives from within: that is true enough, but outside influences do influence us if we let them. If we are to be worth anything, we must be true to life and do only good. Your friend always, Victor
