Take My Message

The width of our interest tells us 
That because their was a present 
Their will be a past for all things
Those who came most go back 
Those who waited certainly will arrive
The thoughts of the heart must speak
Through the handle of action
The danger of now is the idleness of 
Tomorrow and the idol of the heart
Those standing must one day seat down
The future is not a title but it can be bought
Through commitment to a heart
The mouth houses the tongue but the 
Tongue is stronger than the mouth
The head is not always the first and 
The first not often the best
