The Flesh Profits Nothing

To have a heart that is tied up in knots
 when their are a dozen of pots
 in your sink;
 Can't even think
 to dismiss this Earthly bliss
 in a time well spent in thought.
 Yet the Spirit brings life & peace.

 A heart saturated with unconditional love
 shall withstand the true test in time!
 Words have an effect on people
 so choose words of edification.
 Smile 'cause it's contagious
 so pass yours on.

 We can each do our part in making this world a better place.
 Love should be the true essence of our existence.
 Become a beacon of light
 to a hurting world in need.
 Love your neighbor
 spread words of peace and togetherness.

 Each of us has a responsibility in this life.
 Our life will soon be passed
 only what's done for truth will last.
 What we do with our time today
 will become evident through eternity.
