Listen to poem:
Stoicism As Way of Life
"A gentle pat and soft voice comforts even the frighten beast." Quote_ by poet
How many children grow up thinking that abuse is the norm,
never complaining of what goes on in their home.
Like a 3-year-old boy being tossed and kicked repeatedly
down a hallway of their building. The abuse was caught
on a doorbell camera. Her excuse was he, “wasn’t listening.”
blessed be the flower
charms those with its grace and scent
moral nourishment
I was brought up extremely old fashioned. You committed a sin,
you are accountable. I believe God lives within me.
With his hand on mine and wisdom He leads me in the right path.
learn to love yourself
forgiveness is thy freedom
you savor honey
I believe in loving people. I try very hard to respect those around.
Everyone has their boundaries what they have, what they choose,
and what they wish to do. They have their own believes,
don't aim to convert them, accept them for whom they are.
golden wheat long shaft
unspoiled nurturing kernel
those who hunger strength
