Think before you speak
Realize the value of voice
Your words have worth
They can wound and break a heart
Or uplift and heal instead.

Pearls of Wisdom
For those who are willing to seek
Treasure can daily be found
The Scriptures are an oyster
Holding pearls of wisdom
Pick up your bible
And open the pages
Within them
You’ll find
Pearls

Sitting in its corner
Words come alive, thoughts flow free

Book of Life
Let’s write a good book.
I’m not a writer you say,
Yet daily you unfold,
The living story of your life.
For the world to see
It’s told by your words and actions,
Recorded in minds
Of those you interact with.
Are you proud to be its Author?

Pretense
All thunder, no rain
Sky threatens, yet the sun shines
Like Politics
Often all talk and no action
Actions speak louder than words

Words of a Poet
Write, write, write,
From each morn til setting sun
Write, write, write,
Poet’s work is never done
Write, write, write, write

Letter by Letter
One letter in front of another
One foot in front of another
Words are like walking
Carefully chosen
They move us forward
Or hold us back
Like feet

Words To Live By
Believe the best
Forget the rest
Treasure little things
Enjoy what each brings
Cherish every day
In gratitude stay
Dream big
Never renege
Love everyone
Take time for fun
Rhyme
Makes Sense
The long sleepless night
On the pallet forgotten,
My palate enjoyed
Sweet breakfast delicasies
And morning sky’s palette

pallet : (temporary bed)
palate : (sense of taste)

I challenged myself to write a poem using these three words that sound the same but have different meanings. 😊
