If a man says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn’t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
–1 John 4:20
Just behind this door resides a noble little fae
Who has an open heart of gold for those who’ve lost their way.
She gathers all her eensy friends;
They know just what to do.
They share their food,
They offer care,
They teach eternal truth,
No questions asked;
No judgments made;
No hoarding of “the loot.”
They know that one can’t pull a strap unless he has a boot.
-Lady G
A simple rhyme from LadyG’s imagination!
Anyway…
Lately, I find myself so disheartened by current events; especially in the U.S.
Seriously! I often wonder if people realize that our children are looking on as adults act like violent and malicious spoiled brats who are singularly focused on what is best for them and theirs.
Everything is…
MINE!
ME!
THEM! They are the problem!
What about US?
What’s our role?
What are we teaching our babies when we behave this way?
What are we teaching ourselves…The world?
We can do better!
Question, do all of the God-fearing folks really believe in and have reverence for God?
Simply put, you can’t love God in heaven while stepping all over your brother on Earth.
I’ve had enough!
And so…
I’ve created my own alternate world where love, kindness and generousity reign.
I’ve done it before.
Does anybody want to join me? Plan to pray and meditate 🙂
Love and light to you all 💋
Yes I’m on bored. I am in my happy place. I love God I love myself and everyone else even if they don’t love me.

You know I actually seriously hesitate to call it a poem because of its simplicity.
I’d call it a rhyme 🙂
Anyway, I was thinking that politics has become so complicated when it really should be as simple as each person being a good citizen who is helpful, caring, and concerned for others.
I don’t understand what’s so hard about that.
As always, I look forward to hearing from you. I’ve been checking your site waiting for our newest gem—don’t make us wait too long💞

Yes Lady G – life could be so simple, but we humans are a complex bunch! It seems as if some of us have not got past the tantrum stage – still throwing our toys out of the pram and everything centres around ‘me’. I wonder if this is just how it has to be here on Earth? (Rhetorical question!!) Maybe here (Earth) we come to learn important lessons about living together in peace and harmony, and some of us learn the ‘lesson’ and move on. Others just don’t or will never ‘get it’. You clearly have learned it and in your own way, through your simplistic yet powerful ‘rhyme’ are trying to spread the message.
Thank you for checking my site – my mind’s a blank at the moment, but hopefully I’ll be inspired soon!:)
I say Lady G for President!💞 :))

Sorry for the delay M’Lady. This has been a busy week. I think that you are right here and I do believe that we have these lessons to learn but some of us will not get it–at least not in this present moment.
And yes, I know that poets require space for creativity so in due time you will bless us with a good one!

Oh my Gwin!
That was a powerful verse with a beautiful picture.
I’m with you for the World where Hate is expunged and the those who hate cannot enter.
This resonates so much because this is the reading I encountered at Mass on Sunday
Book of Ecclesiasticus:27:30-28:7- extract
‘Resentment and anger, these are foul things, and both are found with the sinner…’
Lead us on Gwin, lead us on.

A thousand thanks Roger! I am so glad that you enjoyed this one! Oh and I love the scripture that you point to from the Mass—it is absolutely apropos!
It’s amazing how we love to point out sin in every little thing –but we fail to realize that we sin (or miss the mark) when we engage in anger and resentment.
Very myopic if you ask me 🙂
And Roger, I so appreciate your support and I thank you for reblogging this post 🙂
