Look to yourself for help A shuttle slips a loom, a bed. Warps the breath of another thread. A thread of life that weaves a web. That ebbs the thoughts within your head. A give and take, germane to bloom, A product of your daily loom. It sculptures all the bad and fair, Whatever euphoria, it must wear. However the facts, however the change. Depending on the size and range, It adds each day a timely thread And does this, until you are dead. Beware the ways of thoughtless prowl. Weave it straight, don't go afoul. Make a plan, do what you can, Belief or no, in your fellow man? There are some helpful hints in play, The ten commandments offers a way. |

Words of wisdom from a wise man! Well done, Seymour! As always, a pleasure!  Denise And slight is the sting of his trouble Whose winnings are less than his worth; For he who is honest is noble, Whatever his fortunes or birth.~~~Alice Cary, ~Nobility~ |

The title caught my eye...I am finding for myself that the real strength lies in God and within myself...I was always searching outwardly for my truths when they dwell with God and within!! Thank You for your wisdom!! I am not sure where all of that came from but there it is!!! Take Care Bridgette |

This brings to thought that the threads of "this" room brought by each from their very loom will never be far from the "web" for altho gone, long will the words ebb. Good work, Sy - I need to find more adjectives for you, Sir! Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

Can I say Amen, Sy? The last two lines brought home a very powerful message. Good poem. Michael |

He gives, he takes One thing he always does He loves, no matter what the purpose A nice piece that you put down in ink The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Seymour- You are the master weaver of wisdom, sir. The weaver sits at His loom, weaving the fabric of our life. Never lovelier, never stronger. than the threads that loom before us and knit us together. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Sy, I agree, words of wisdom!! Bravo! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ Love is such a lonely art, and death is but a taste. Minds are merely instruments that often go to waste! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ |

What can I say, that has not already been said? Your words ring true, and should be read by many. Always a pleasure to read. May I never be too busy to help another's load, Then I'll be drinking from the saucer 'cause my cup has overflowed. --Author Unknown |
