Precious, Separate And Unique Poem by AHO Speaks

'To your own self be true'
Use time to think and question; what is presented to you.

Even to think about what you believe is naught
The mind is our chalice for soul and human thought.

Free will, reason, choices and decisions
Too often not to seek and find but hide in recidivism.

If we do not question how can we open the word of why
Not to use your own mind it is yourself you deny.

Life is not to live according to words of another time
They had theirs, you have yours and I will have mine.

When all your children have left the nest
Hopefully you can say; 'I tried my best'.

To share a portion of what was given to me
An introduction to the creator of every family tree.

Above all the gifts that are sent every day
Most precious are thoughts and questions; sent our way.

It is true that 'sticks and stones' can break a bone
But all human thought is created under our dome.

The purpose of thought is to seek an answer to enlighten
Be not afraid to question and certainly be not frightened.
