We Ought To Be Thankful

HEAVEN'S GIFTS - - Any talent we happen to be born with By heavens is given for common use It's not offered to us a profit to make, Any of our poor brothers to abuse Thus We should never be proud but must be thankful For all gifts, we have received from above It is the way to please our Divine Father The Father, who forever does us, love! © Demetrios Trifiatis 18 January 2016

Wise words my friend. Such wisdom is primarily rejected out of hand in today's world. Enjoy this uplifting and beautiful poem. A7..

This is a hard hitting, home run. I love your philosophy and know that you will leave behind a positive footprint. One does not read you and forget, not if they seek true enlightenment ... CayCay

Your words of appreciation gives me an additional reason to focus on writing poetry like this, i.e., not for any personal gain but as a contribution to those who search for something under the light of truth . Thank you so much, Dear CayCay, for your precious visit and comment!

The I, Me and Myself are the first steps to take, unfortunately people spend their whole life and never let it go! Thank you for visit and comment, my friend, Miraj.
