Demetrios Trifiatis Poet Quatrain

We Ought To Be Thankful

HEAVEN'S GIFTS

-
-



Any talent we happen to be born with

By heavens is given for common use

It's not offered to us a profit to make,

Any of our poor brothers to abuse


Thus


We should never be proud but must be thankful

For all gifts, we have received from above

It is the way to please our Divine Father

The Father, who forever does us, love!

CayCay Godwin January 18, 2016 at 8:55 PM This is a hard hitting, home run. I love your philosophy and know that you will leave behind a positive footprint. One does not read you and forget, not if they seek true enlightenment ... CayCay Demetrios Trifiatis January 19, 2016 at 5:20 AM Your words of appreciation gives me an additional reason to focus on writing poetry like this, i.e., not for any personal gain but as a contribution to those who search for something under the light of truth . Thank you so much, Dear CayCay, for your precious visit and comment!
