Who We Are

This may not be written in an acceptable format. I simply wrote my feelings and tried to make it rhyme. I know life can seem unfair but I also know that if we exercise our faith we can feel better about ourselves. If we dwell on our woes that is all we see. If we look for the silver lining it will appear.


Poem Artwork

Have you never thought that who we are depends upon who we were?
Have you ever considered that Mom and Dad taught us to call our elders Ma’am or Sir?

Has it ever occurred to you that old wounds we have can sometimes leave us lame?
Or that sometimes it becomes an old habit which causes us to find others to blame?

All these things are part of life and we live them every one.
The secret is to find a way to deal with pain and find joy before our life is done.
We often find it easier to feel that God has left us down.
We walk through life feeling used and abused meeting each day with a frown.

It is not God who punishes us or life or Mom or Dad.
It is not our wife or husband or sister and brother that treats us bad.
It is not our children who, after all are only kids today.
It seems your own worst enemy can be yourself who when love calls will not obey.

Days will come when you find yourself feeling used and abused and feeling unappreciated.
This is the time when you need to find a way to let unselfish love be initiated.
Do not blame the world for all your woes or all your pain.
For blame gives nothing and you will find that with it you cannot gain.

Look up for your redemption draweth Nye and your reward is coming to you.
Follow the Golden rule in everything you say and all you do.

Blaming others is such a stupid thing to do. Truth is, the fault we find in others is often our own fault we see reflected in them. When we point a finger accusingly at some, guess how many fingers point back at us? If we are obedient to God's Commandment to love our neighbour as ourselves, we will have no one to blame, not even ourselves. So, lets do what He says, and begin to love ourselves so that we can then love our neighbours and stop the stupid blame, woe-is-me, game. Much truth in your write, Lew.

God Bless

Such a true write...we are responsible for our own actions, can't get to the pearly gates and blame someone else for our own mistakes. Great write, full of inspiration, truth, wisdom and great advice! Great message here!

This is so true, Lew. So many times we are quick to point a finger of blame when we would be better advised to forgive. Personally speaking, there are many times when I, in feeling low, have taken that low moment to write a positive poem. Call it "reverse psychology," I guess, but it always makes me feel better.

An inspiring and eye-opening poem that I pray many people will read and heed!

Thanks,
Jill

Lew, this flow great, and it is true! We a lot of times blame other people when it is ourselves who need to be reprimanded. I find, if I follow God's word, I can do much better in my life. This is a good write.
