Hi John,
This is a well rhymed and smoothly flowing poem that shows us the we need to be kind, accepting and humble. If all of us were these more often we would have a much better world, as your poem states. Faith helps us with this.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Congrats on placing third in the contest.
Have a great day.
Joan
By the way I have just published a book that is available on Amazon.com. It is called " The Interloper (and other stories in prose and poetry)" by Joan Pechter.

Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
An excellent entry for the Rhyming Poetry Contest. Love the message in this poem especially in today's world. We seem to have forgotten many of the things you mention. Nicely done. Good luck in the contest.

A fine entry for the Rhyming Contest - and full of good truths. There is nothing more important than giving of oneself, with compassion, to help another on the journey through life. Best wishes for your entry.

Hello John,
You've hit on the important things in life. One of the principals at the school I worked at said- people don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care. Actions speak louder than words for sure. Thanks for sharing. Good luck in the contest.
Blessings,
Tom

Comment from jim vecchio
Your poetic words ring very true. Satire and comedy about life is good at times, but never in a way that we offend specific others or go against God's will for us. Thank you for posting.

This reminds me of the old saying that it's not your words that speak. It is your actions, because the actions speak louder than your words. I try to live my day each day with doing kind act for people and sharing my love with others. Patricia .
