May I

Be humble,
not high.

Learn,
before teach.

Think,
before act.

Listen
with mind
to hear


~your importance~
.


..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..

Seymour and Ron,

I so appreciate you both reading and  responding.

There are thoughts in this little poem which I really like, though quite common, maybe I can re-use in a different poem,  for others didn't seem take to it as a whole. (Maybe the thoughts! Duh, I can be so dense, sometimes...smiling here, thanks...

Warmest regards, Pat

Pat, I wasn't here earlier, and almost missed this
treasure of words.....and I loved the thoughts you
wrote, too. Back to the top, where it should be.....

..and may you
keep writing!!!

I love it, such great words and ideas so confined and precise.
Keep it up; really wonderful.

Always, GG
