Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

God's Been Good

        God's Been Good

Yes, I realize for many He has
no place.
But we pray for those to find His
grace.
To stop adoring their human face.

So much in good in life to do!
To tutor, to visit the ill.
And stop thinking as poets we
are kings and queens of the hill.

There are those in nursing homes,
who might like a visit or two.
Or soldiers who sacrificed their 
bodies that are injured, for you.

Maybe our neighbor down the
street, the widow, lonely she sits.
Alas, we are obsessed with our
Fitbits?

Your parchment and pen, will
not go away,
If from a few feet of it you stray.

"And if you do good to those who
only do good to you, what credit
is that? Even sinners do the 
same!"

Why do we comment to only
those who comment to us?
Why not jump into the Soup,
full force?
Realizing God is our source?

Krish Radhakrishna November 4, 2019 at 3:13 AM Beautiful thoughts. The kind heart shines through. Panagiota Romios November 4, 2019 at 3:29 AM Good morning Krish! I am glad you posted this! After writing so many, I do forget them to reread them again is a good idea for me. This one reminds me to stop kvelling on me and me alone! There is a world out there. Bless you...Kriah. Panagiota

Tom Cunningham October 5, 2019 at 1:02 PM Sadly Panagiota todays attitude is, I'm alright Jack and no one else matters. People are good at taking but not giving. Panagiota Romios October 5, 2019 at 1:21 PM Plenty of them, Tom. Giving? LOL We grew up when things were otherwise. . Free this, and free that..big in the USA. "You owe us" is the new motto. Astonishing,and totally stupid.freeloaders here. Workers are despised. Or if you have money? Envy. Only Hollywood is allowed money. Aman who builds a company! Despised. It's like a horror show. Work here~ get punished! Panagiota Re comnents..,I know we are on the same page. Lots of lookers..few can say thank you. Kudos to those who do...

Caren Krutsinger October 5, 2019 at 10:59 AM ""And if you do good to those who only do good to you, what credit is that? Even sinners do the same!"" This is so true. It is often someone we do not even know who is placed in our path for a reason. Panagiota Romios October 5, 2019 at 11:47 AM What a salient point, Caren. Panagiota oxox
