Notes About The Poem

Even five minutes spent in silence will nurture and revive your soul a ...

Nurture Your Virtue

Nurture the virtues of your eternal soul,
those attributes that are eternal.
Share your best, make it your goal,
let them manifest from the internal.

Let others see what will unfold,
as it extends from within to the external.
Share the creative energy, as you’ve been told,
open your mind like a ripe kernel.

Allow your thoughts to flow like a river,
share your gifts, be a giver.
Don’t hold back, it’s time to deliver,
use all the arrows in your quiver.

Nothing you’re given is meant to be held,
and never a time for talents to be shelved.
