Grasp Your Moment Poem by Janice M Pickett

Caress each day as if it were your very soul
Drink in love as if it were water
Soak up compassion as if you were a sponge
Walk with open arms to welcome everyone
Take nothing said to you in anger as a personal insult
Smile in the face of verbal attack
Look into your spirit and meditate
see the spirits around you with lessons on love
Be calm
Be real
Be one of the special group
who treasure life
who work for peace
who sow the seeds to heaven on earth
but mostly
BE TRUE TO THE HEART WITHIN YOU
There you will see the gentle soul
who has so much love to give
Let that person come out
Let them guide you daily
let each man woman and child
know the gentle touch from your spirit
If all men took the lead
then there would be no room for war.
