A Gem of An Inheritance

~A Gem of an Inheritance~

Leave your family with virtues
taught, that are Divine!
A major quality called integrity,
will keep their world ashine.

Teach them to never be a sheep,
But, in all relations to shepherd goodness!
A sparkling gem to share and keep.

Above all, to honor God and learn His
teachings.
To know fully He and Only He,
is the source of all Healings.

To not speak a word of evil against 
another, a most egregious sin!
All the rage today, in this ungrateful 
world we live in!

Above all to share with all others.
For, indeed we are all His sons
and daughters;hence all sisters
and brothers.

Teach them they are perfect as is,
There is zero reward in all our
worldly wins!
For winds come and then pass us 
quickly like a bitter, winter wind.

These values are not in 401Ks
nor big banking accounts.
The values of The Spirit?
Oh! How much more, they do count!

Yes, Tom I agree. Stashes of riches mean nothing without these. They can never be stolen nor destroyed. Panagiota xx
