Wait Not For Flowers
Do not wait for anyone to bring you flowers;
decorate your soul, plant your own garden.
Find the fountain within and get a shower,
be to others a blessing and not a burden.
Each new day is a golden opportunity
to learn, live and leave legacies of love...
No one was created to be a liability;
we all are seeds of solution sent from above.
Before you ask for rainfall, sow a seed,
patience is not the ability to wait and wish...
Our daily needs should not turn to greed,
depend on no man to deck your own dish.
