We Do Belong

in the early morning right before dawn today approaches yesterday is gone our legacy builds be mindful of time. make the most of your day let the sun shine treat each day as if it could be your last your future will one day become your past plant your seed water it and watch it grow your future now comes please stay in the know educate and live pass on and pardon put forward your best and tend your garden maintain and deliver watch your brother remember God's son love one another take care of your sails and keep your mast strong we will weather this storm we do belong

Mark, such a unifying poem which stresses we are not islands but are contiguous concerning these challenging times. Thank you for your timely message. ~ Sonia

Definitely a great message and true course to stay on my friend. A sonnet that speaks wisdom and gifts great pleasure to read, understand and know it counsels kindness, civility, empathy, mercy, truth and light. A fav-- and a gleaming gem too..

You posted a sonnet, and you got it right, in form and message. Well done, Mark. So what if you don't like punctuation marks. I was once eliminated from a contest for omitting a comma. Trivialities are so inconsequential these days. Remembering God's message, delivered through His son is more important today than ever. Thank you for bringing it to attention.

I had comma's and periods but I took them out. I'm not sure why, just to be different I guess. Thanks
