My Parting Gifts

Die we must when our time is ripe And perhaps my time has come I travel as light as when I was born No burden no regret and no guilt Walk on the righteous path, my dearest ones And whenever you go wrong Be brave to speak the truth There is none to fear but the Lord In life and thereafter you travel light Life is all about give and take Relationships are based on What benefits one gets from others Raise your bar of loving and giving so high That at all times your relationship Becomes valued and indispensable It is your only gold mine You are judged and evaluated by The feathers fluttering around you A true friend is an image of god Choose judiciously and not be cowed down For he shall saw every trace of flattery and Shoot poisoned arrows into your flaws He will push you to climb the difficult ladder Of uprightness and humanity To soar your golden flight February 21, 2016 Contest: My Parting Gifts Sponsor: Viv Wigley
