Wren Rushing Poet Rhyme

Good Morning

I woke the morn with life's new lease, 
 a friend I've found named inner peace. 
Now given a purpose for my cause,
 I will run with zeal without any pause. 

My goal everyday to greet fellow man,
 with "Hello Sir "or "Good Day Ma'am".
Surely seems simple enough I know,
 but could put a smile on a face or even a glow.

When faced with a person old or young, 
 don't think on bad things they may have done. 
But remember your child, when looking at them, 
 then it's easy to judge and forgive their sin. 

Blessing or curse in the tongue we have, 
 do we use poison or do we use salve. 
The choice we choose could make or break,
 someone's day for Heaven's sake.

So have a good morning and have a blessed day.
Now when someone we meet, we'll know what to say.

Silent One January 20, 2019 at 6:39 AM Brilliant poem and brilliant outlook Wren.. This reminded me of one of my biggest regrets in life.. Once I was so busy and rushing, I saw a friend, but had no time to chat, it was just a quick hello and goodbye... Sadly he passed away two weeks after.. Always, I stop now and have a little conversation with everyone I meet, because you never know.. Great poem.. Congratulations on your first place in the contest.. Wren Rushing January 20, 2019 at 8:19 AM Thank you Silent One for the kind words and for sponsoring the contest! It is always difficult to look back at what we said or didn't say. You are right to stop and speak to those you meet. Have a blessed day my friend!

Caren Krutsinger October 10, 2018 at 11:26 AM This part could be its own poem: "Blessing or curse in the tongue we have, do we use poison or do we use salve. The choice we choose could make or break, someone's day for Heaven's sake." SO TRUE! Wren Rushing October 10, 2018 at 11:32 AM Thanks for your comment. Caren have a great day
