Have you ever wondered...?

Question

Have you ever wondered if you have spent your time wisely?

Your present feelings should truly tell you that.

Have you shared it with others, or like Scrooge been miserly?

Hiding your talents under the crown of your hat?

Time is a God given gift to be used with sound wisdom and joy,

not to be squandered for our own selfish pride.

All around you see your neighbour, father, mother, girl and boy,

they may have a need for your time you hide.

Is it so difficult, so annoying to give which you may have to spare,

to some lonely soul who lives nearby.

The widow, the sick, the poor who wait eagerly for you to share

a little of that of which they often rely.

What is it to us who have time on our hands, to give just a little

to others who are badly in sore need.

Will we miss that which we have; no I say, not one jot or tittle.

In giving are we not planting loves seed?

Answer 1

You give much to poets who are in sore need of real, modern poetry.

To comment on your unique poems would require many pages. They are always appreciated and read many times. The message is universal.

Answer 2

These are worthy thoughts and good reminders. If we have two coats, we have one to spare. Sometimes, minutes are more precious than coats, and taking time to chat like this is valuable. As we share our minutes, we smile! Thanks for caring enough to share with us your talents.

Answer 3

ive often been told that i undervalue myself, and dont see how much my time, attention and affection are worth,  this poem calls to mind that we all have much to give each other, and that we should value ourselves, as gifts.

Answer 4

What a remarkable ode. Getting out of our own self for the sake of others happiness and needs is what it's all about.

Answer 5

Sir, we all need your gentle reminder.

My thanks for sharing your poetry!  

The world would be a better place if we took it to heart more often.
