It's a Duty

I am me This I life The one bit of it that I aptly perceive is – Life isn’t free Life is the most invaluable thing Providence, intelligent as it is Mustn’t be prone to waste its resources Each living thing a capital to a definite end Each and everything is alive Ask the scientist of the day and they’ll agree It thus befits that everything exists for a specific interest Specialization is key if we are to fully live There’s exquisite order in every aspect of life The solar system tells of an infinite intelligence The social life with all its rulers and orders Tells of the existence of a more superior, infinite rulers and orders A spoon is almost like a fork …but definitely different from it A fork may attempt to do what a spoon does But never as efficiently We are what we are Each in his and her diverse respect Focus only on the deeds you best can Let me specialize on being the best I can …and let’s leave the rest From the elephants to the ants Each as important to the benefit of Mother Earth Life has us all, with intention to co-exist Lets all live actively, for Mother Nature’s benefit

"Let me specialize on being the best I can..." Wow, Wiseton, your spiritual quality eminates purely through this beautiful poem. Love the analogy of the fork and spoon. As you say, we should "focus only on the deeds" we can do best...and leave the rest." It's wonderful to have you back and I hope you find a publisher for your two new books! You are so talented and I've missed your presence here. Love and blessings always, Carolyn
