Notes About The Poem

all we have is now..

Let Not Your Soul Be Burdened

Let Not Your Soul Be Burdened

The soul is where the mind doth dwell,
Always somewhere
 it's never in limbo -
Your soul is filled, never void. 
So, think of life abundantly; 

“May I enjoy you today"?

So, that you may live life rich and full, 
Think of what good you can do for self
And be not dull. Think well of good health.

"May I enjoy you today"

For frogs, will croak and crickets 
will chirp with the birds.
Your soul is wherever your mind doth dwell;
All good, or all bad. All in or All out.

"May I enjoy your company today"

Think of water when thirsty-
Think of Shea - Butter and oil
When your gears need oiling. 
Life is a living well – live it well
Draw from your wealth of friends.

"Hopewell, you’ll enjoy my presence today"

Think of living life well, rebuke those 
Who try to make life a living hell? 
Practice the Art that has been bestowed
And do it well. Think of where 
you want your soul to dwell.

"May I laugh with you today"

Speak gratuitously of life: Leave croaking to the frogs.
Allow Birds and crickets to their jobs.
Think of life fondly. As death, will speak for itself!

"May we celebrate life today"

Death is not a consequence, it is inevitable...
So, let not your heart be consumed of it
Be about the business of thinking life better
And living each day as it comes

Did we create fond memories today?
