Small Words of Wisdom From the Tea-Time Traveler

The following words are of wisdom in prose I tried to be careful in what words I chose They are my own interpretations With some small poetic alterations When you look upon another human being Don’t be fooled by what you are seeing Don’t judge them by their outer skin Rather, see them from what they are within Love must always be a two way street And somewhere in the middle the two must meet It’s not just about the gift you got from above It’s also about giving a good share of your love Laugh like you’ve never laughed before Dance like your feet have left the floor Love like you’ve found your soul mate and best friend And live like your life will never end Don’t live in the past, it’s over and done Don’t live in the future, it hasn’t begun Live in the present one day at a time Give thanks even though you may have had a hard climb Treat nature with a gentle touch Give back to her and don’t take so much She has sustained life for millions of years And if we’re not careful, it will all disappear The ultimate gift from Heaven above Is to be able to find somebody to love It’s the greatest lesson you will ever learn And to have someone love you in return There is a thin line between love and hate An even thinner line between destiny and fate Love can be destiny’s soul and breath Hate is a fate worse than death You should always be true to yourself As well as being true to everyone else Greet people like you would like to be greeted Treat people like you would like to be treated Have love for your fellow human being Don’t worry about what others are thinking You should just be yourself always And never assume a false face Always be a contender And never be a pretender Get into the ring of life and fight For what you believe to be right Always be a dreamer And never be a schemer Your dreams will take you far and wide Your schemes will bite you in the behind You can make the possible come true And that will effect the probable too You can be whatever you want to be And make others see what you want them to see Don’t misuse any powers you may gain And never cause anyone any grief or pain Remember on this earth you’re just a guest So always give thanks for that which you’re blessed In this life we worry about every little thing Try not to worry about what tomorrow may bring Especially if there’s nothing you can do about it You’ll worry yourself to death, you can live without it Be open to all possibilities Be aware of all probabilities Try new things with others or alone Try to get out of your comfort zone Everything is possible But not everything is probable There’s a big difference between the two And that difference between them is you Realize that life does not go on and on One minute you’re here, the next minute you’re gone Try to make a difference in all that you do So that people will remember you If you knew then what you know now Would you live your life different somehow? Would you make the same mistakes you made then If you had your life to live over again? Sometimes think about the past and yourself Was it you back then or somebody else Cause I often think some people are two people in one And I wonder which one did the things that they’ve done Try to be a child again Run and play with imaginary friends Take out your toys and play and make a mess Live life without worries, concerns or stress Well, that’s all I have to share with you for now I thought there was more somehow If I think of more wisdom, I’ll write it down and Share it with you, my friends in Poetry Soup land
