Poem Title:
Poem
"Respect Begets Respect." Proverb I look at all people with value and significance and respect, it does not matter if they are a friend or a beggar on the street: or a food charity person, no matter what, they are fellow humans, I never consider them irrelevant, or not important, or a threat; and would never talk down to them, demean, or belittle, or be condescending, this is what God wants me to do! I will never judge others for what has happened in their life, for my own journey has not been easy so I understand: there are pitfalls and detours, there is grief, sadness, illness, fear and worry to overcome, I found the strength and courage; to move forward and heal my life, I care not about a person's, appearance, gender, race, age, this is what Gods wants of me! I embrace the spirit of God and the human spirit each day, and follow God's path of love in daily life, and of kindness: to each person I interact with on my journey, its simple to do, just treat each person with respect, it will make you happy; your own life will be improved, as the old proverb says, "Respect Begets Respect," this is what God wants me to do! My unique way is with tranquility, serenity and calm, I have taught myself to let go of judgement and anger: my tools are prayers, meditation, intentions, commitments, being thankful, mindful, and embracing that things change; nothing stays the same, there is always hope for better days, and if my words can change a life, then God has taught me well! _____________________ January 09, 2023 Poetry/Verse/Respect and Kindness is the Way Copyright Protected, ID 01-1515-440-09 All Rights Reserved, 2023, Constance La Franc Written for the Premiere contest, The Way We Look sponsor, Unseeker Seeker, Judged 01/10/2023 First Place
