The Timorous Wordsmith Poem by Thomas Golding

The Timorous Wordsmith

Rating: 4.0


If I sing aloud in the world
Will my song be heard?
To the tone deaf all songs are flat;
If I never raise my voice
Only the First Principle will hear
He/She knows it all anyway.
I may never be a flame in darkness,
However consider the firefly
If it worried about predators
Its species would never survive
There is no end to growth
Merely the desire to grow.

You are a wise man indeed and this poem has wisdom for us all - - - I shall remember the final lines 'there is no end to growth, - merely the desire to grow' - - yes that is what is lacking in all too many....... thanks for this and again a 10...
