The path you
Take
Is one you
Make
Hatched in your
Mind
Revised through
Time
Converging, diverging
Ever
Emerging
Time and again
Those in the public eye
Wielding great power
Through accrued
Fame and fortune
Have fallen
Short of the mark
Letting us down
Miserably
In the quest for
Exemplary models
The focus could be
Narrowed considerably
By concentrating
The search
Much closer to home
It is within
Common people
That
Uncommon goodness
Often is found
Lend a hand
In love
Each day
Be hope’s
Ever shining
Ray
Help someone
To find the
Way
Compassion’s
Touch
Upon them
Lay
In their heart
Forever
Stay
Cross each
Bridge
When you
Arrive
Spawn less
Turmoil
Deep
Inside
Distant
Problems
Set
Aside
In the
Present
Do
Abide
Cross each
Bridge
When you
Arrive
Greater
Inner
Peace
Derive
A shuffle
Of
Feet
Places to
Go
People to
Meet
On the
Move
Day and
Night
Step this
Way
If you
Might
Don’t stop
Now
You’ll be
Late
Through this
Gate
Destiny
Waits
Joy, love
And
Fulfillment
Can’t be
Manufactured
As
They are
Gifts
We receive
At
Unexpected
Times
Never packaged
Exactly
The same way
Twice
We must remain
Open
To welcome them
Whenever
And
In whatever
Form
They arrive
I wonder
What it is
About the wiring
In my brain
That allows words
To fly
Off my fingertips
But
To lodge
In my throat
bowl full of Wheat Crisps
topped with banana and milk
off to the races
Respect for
You
Respect for
Me
For all things
Living
Land to
Sea
Integrity
To
Do what’s
Right
Through
Life’s travails
Day and
Night
A
Healthy dose
Of
Responsibility
Tempered
By
A bit of
Levity
Compassion
And kindness
Light the
Way
If in
Our hearts
Forever
Stay
A basic
Tonic
Fits the
Bill
Ameliorating
Many of
Our
Ills
Reining
Erecting physical
And
