The torch you light

Must last through time,

Using man's mind

To foster this goal.

 

Words can linger,

Long after spoken,

And carry the flag

Into tomorrows breeze.

 

Be alert and listen,

As they are humming now.

Some will try to deceive you.

Pull them out, as you would a weed.

Some very wise thoughts on the nature of words, George; those we should seek to speak and those we should seek to ignore - quash, even. As always, your words are to be heeded. Love always, Kate xx

...inspiring poem...words - weeds...coming up
in a mind...distractive...deceiving...So pull
them out and see the garden of beauty grow...
Love your verse George. Thank you for sharing.

Some of those weeds are very stubborn. But I've seen many come around in time.

You're up to your usual wisdom with this one.
