Just For You Poetry

Our thoughts can lift us where all good resides,
may send us into dark and deep despair;
Or fill our hearts where peace and joy abides,
with tender loving mercies, healing care.

'Til we know the power of spoken word,
to harm, to charm, to lift, let goodness show;
Then much of what is spoken goes unheard,
becomes the place where vilest hatreds grow.

Our deeds provide the legacy we leave.
They help or hinder those that we may love.
This tangled web of life wherein we weave
becomes mere pittance for great things above.

May thoughts, words, deeds lead on to higher ground,
'Tis there life's greatest blessings may be found
