Sandra Haight Poet Rhyme

The Sin of Sloth

Named sin, the act of sloth we often scorn;
observing, the word lazy comes to mind.
Real sloths, with slow metabolisms, born; 
but our health reasons, oft are not assigned.

Connie Marcum Wong July 19, 2022 at 3:51 PM This poem addresses what many people deal with. My young 36 year old daughter often needs naps. Some think she is lazy yet she suffers from anemia and other personal health issues. I love your poem that is not only perfect for the contest but sends a worthy message. I hope it is a top winner my friend. It is going into my Faves! Blessings xxoo Sandra Haight July 19, 2022 at 5:23 PM Dear Connie, I chose to put this message into my poem because I too have family members suffering from medical conditions with symptoms that resemble laziness! I am so pleased that you can identify with this and find comfort in my words! Thanks again for all your supportive comments and Faving this poem! Hugs, Sandra
