People: My Thought For the Day

~~People~~ Has anyone ever been slighted? Is anyone ever upset? Do you ever think of revenge? I hope not and yet… There are some that cannot let things go It’s hard-but hate they seem to show Why can we not forgive each other? And live as we should like sister and brother… But they have their own problems as well It’s a shame in life - something’s we cannot tell Of our love for each other we should not use spite Revenge should be banished - and so should slight… I don’t mean we should be all lovey-dovey or more Just get on with life which can be a chore Help and not hinder - love and not hate Greet with open arms - never slam the gate… We are people together, in a life that is hard Let’s get on with it now and say badness is barred Live and let live, and I don’t mean those that are bad I want people to get on- but even I am not that mad… My thought for the day ©

this could well be a mission statement here on soup, Mandy, for all those whom are the victims of personal abuse, like Paula at the moment, (Read Blog). even standing on its own, it is a wonderful poem, with one main question. love how you have constructed this. wonderful. harry
