Notes About The Poem

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure;
A few kind words spoken, can make a heart feel secure." 
~ Artsieladie Quote 

"When we know we're appreciated, we feel positive and uplifted;
We feel blessed with worthiness and with value we feel gifted."
~ Artsieladie Quote 

Highlight Pen

"Highlight Pen"

Through your road of life, as you travel through,
Don't forget your Highlight Pen to bring along with you.
For in your many journeys, paths that you shall take,
You will encounter many books of life, also in the make.

As books of life of others that you'll come to read,
You'll have MANY opportunities in which you'll find the need,
To use your Highlight Pen to point out all the good,
You will see and appreciate to make it understood.

Sometimes the souls we encounter, come across,
May not see their value within themselves they toss.
But with your trusty Highlight Pen filled with ink of Love,
You can help them see the Light inside they are made of.

Be generous with your strokes, never do decline
Nor be stingy with your ink, make very wide your line.
Now here, take your Highlight Pen, keep it on your person.
You'll have it handy then, so you can start rehearsin'!

Gteat verse Artsie, we accumulate so much baggage as we go through life and it would be so much easier if we could just highlight the good stuff. Tom.

Yes, we do, Tom, accumulate baggage. It would be easier for sure but if we only highlight the good stuff, we'll then likely forget the lessons we learned during the bad stuff & some of those lessons learned were painful, too painful to learn again. ;) Thanks always for your added thoughts. I enjoy reading them. All the best. :) ~ Artsie
