Love & Worth

Love is our measure of worth;
What we love is worth more
Than what we do not love
And if we love nothing
Life feels worthless.

Truth & Euphemisms

Absolute truth rejects euphemisms;
Jesus never used them
But we all do?

Manners & Respect

Our manners
Declare our human altitudes
Of self respect and respect of others;
Whosoever causes us to lose our manners
Will cause us to diminish ourselves
With those who respect us.

Love & Self

Love of those
Whom we don’t know
Is the most selfless kind love;
Loves of those we know
Often originate from
Love of self.

Love & Bankfuptcy

When the three children of love:
Kindness, compassion, and empathy
Are supplanted by the three of hate:
Cruelty, torture, and terrorism
The sublime human soul dies
And spiritual bankruptcy
Impoverishes earth.

Occasion & Celebration

Waiting for an occasion to celebrate
Is wasting the time between occasions;
One should celebrate every moment
As if it were a great occasion
Because every moment
Is a great occasion.

God & Days

God
In daily life
Is unavoidable;
Try passing a day
Without saying, ‘Oh, God’
Or, ‘For God’s sake’
Or, ‘Jesus Christ’
Or, ‘Dear Lord;’
The number of times
We mention God
Is infinite…
