Poem: Just a thought, but one well worth considering!

By Stanley Collymore

God gave us life and, when He did so, He also accorded

us the freedom to make choices of our own, as well

as the will to either enforce or rescind those

decisions we’d made. That said, He also

expected us to act responsibly, if not

all of the time then at least for

most of it. For we’re human beings created in His

own image and who’re blessedly endowed with

the gift of reason and the power to use that

sacred gift advisedly. Not act like com-

puterized automatons incapable of

adjudging what is logically and

sensibly right, or what is quite

detrimentally and  rather

undoubtedly wrong!

So wouldn’t it be worth both our reflection

and time, if instead of principally always

selfishly thinking of just our self,

and usually so to the detriment

of others, that rather we

pause sometimes, charitably consider and

seriously reflect on how best in this life,

we’re especially given from Heaven,

that we can all of us accordingly,

earnestly divest from our en-

trenched selfishness and,

both individually and

mutually, generally

behave far more

altruistically?

Author’s Comments:

This poem is written in grateful appreciation to all those who of their own and most gracious volition, have both voluntarily and consistently made a significant contribution in my life.

It’s also dedicated to all my followers globally whose interest in my work is an added incentive to what I’m carrying out and truly love doing.

Equally so, it’s for the Management and staff at Twitter who for the past 10 years – thanks to all of you for remembering my 10^th anniversary with you – who’ve so admirably put up with me for the past decade. Thank you! And God bless you all!
