The Golden Key

Not a law but a simple gauge
Given in store within our fate
On stone on page from age to age
Passing alone from late to late.

We hold on lip a simple truth
A weight that tips the justice scale
Ignored by most mainly youth  
No host, no grail, no cloak or vail.

It lives a presence day to day
An essence in a simple core
A bray,  a say, a path, a way
And stays in truth forever more.

It brooks to you, to all that heed
To look within your shoal the whole.
It takes no breed to work it's deed
Your pull of soul will pole the goal.

Just do unto others each one
As would unto thyself have done.

Sy, your wisdom and your heart are showing...may I have permission to print this off, frame it and hang it in my office at The Firm?

what a perfect post for a Sunday sweetSY-guy
me thinks you had the fruits from your wisdom tree on your cereal this morn.
You and those last two lines ...
are worth your weight in gold.

Seymour~
While the wisdom of this piece was well stated -
I was most impressed with the subtle internal rhyme scheme.
Positively brilliantly executed.
An enjoyable read-aloud piece.
Thank you for sharing.

Sy,
Ditto the subtle rhyme. It moved it along smoothly. I liked the sentiment and loved the poem.

Dear Sy, please know that I have copied, pursuant to your permission, this excellent example of "law" at its best, and it resides where the Vision Statement once resided, as I deem it more appropriate to my outlook, and I do so appreciate your gesture of sharing.

Your kindnesses remain in my heart, and I thank you...
