In life there are many things that should not be spoken about
Keep It For Yourself Many people say they did good deeds But they don’t see to where this leads They’re still waiting to see the reward In the meantime they feel awkward They think they should stop believing As no prize they see themselves receiving They keep asking, why did I toil in vain? And for an answer they martyr their brain They forget that every action big or plain Carries in itself its best reward and gain And what they expect as compensation Is only a result of their own imagination As my dear father’s saying set it: Do good in your life and forget it One day you will know why I said it One day you will know why you did it For myself I can see every day the result I don’t talk about it; I leave it in my heart As it is the only one who keeps the treasure A good friend who knows the right measure What’s in your heart does not like to be unveiled Watched by anyone, spoken about or hailed For the one who feels it and keeps his peace The blessings of this friend will never cease. Many people do not have this feeling Even if they are praying and kneeling Their time has not arrived for now It may come soon, we don’t know how. Copyright 2010 Emile Tubiana

Emile, as always your poetry speaks to me. Yes I understand your thinking, I do keep most of what comes back to me to myself, but I also share pieces to give people hope that living in the light does work...

I am a light worker, I must shine for others to see and learn awareness that is my mission in life, it is what has been given to me as a journey.

Love, peace and lightness to you always,
Amber

Someone once said that the good a man does privately will one day be made known beofre the angels, and the man who does his good deed for the reward he expects to get....well then, he has his reward, such as it is....

Well written,
