Human Temperament

Unrefined in the womb, yet seeking acknowledgement.
Soon that little soul will be a developed skill.
Searching with stretched out fingers,
primary senses must be nourished,
as the farmer’s land is first tilled…

Planting Seeds.
Eyes and ears as little sponges absorb,
as billions of cells make collections
in silver trays through opened doors…

Poet, artist, and philosopher are inside that little heart.
Unnoticed and unrefined from its very start.
Soon it will open as a rose in bloom,
enticing all with its acumen perfume…

It is there within us all, to share, and to give.
To make others well in spirit and body
with a gift at our resolve through the life we live.
We all are appointed a time ingenious,

To share with all acknowledgement,
the full capacity of our human temperament…


__________________________________________________

Vivid creativity is contained in our human temperament.
Everyone has within them, capacity to share that creative genius.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
