The Wisdom Of Eustolia Poem by RIC BASTASA

i
it is not really important how big the salary that you are receiving
what is important is that there is always something
left in your pocket

ii

the golden earrings and the diamond rings
are not the gauge
whether you can hear and touch
what others have not felt

iii

do not think of dusk and the coming darkness
they will always be there
but think of the twilight that announces the
coming of light
and there start your life

iv

forgive and have always the gratitude
in forgiving
build your face on the foundations
of your smile

v

love always love much
never tarry, never be lazy on loving
always be the giver
do not be the receiver, go! go! go!
