Random But Important Ramblings

Random But Important Ramblings

A Poem by Tomi

Trust not all words of men; search what’s in their hearts

Flattery is an art of ages: Most people are excellent at it

Live like there’s a tomorrow; hope keeps you strong

Life is not short: it goes by quickly

If wishes were horses; if gold was sand

If time were reversible; I’d hold your hand

 

Kids: tomorrow’s leaders? I laugh

Who are we kidding, not with our leaders?

Leaders of tomorrow; tomorrow already passed

Now is tomorrow, now is the future

Teach a child to lead now; so when he’s a man, he’d already be a Man

Love the second part... couldn't have said it better. Not too random I don't think, it works. :)

This is wonderful... True talk: teach a child to be a man now, now is the time... Tomorrow may be too late. Nicely penned.

wow... you are so inspiring.. and I'm sorry if that's flattery! but seriously.... your ideologies have the power to change the world... and they are not random thoughts at all.... I would carry your words with me to remind me of what's important in life always. Thank you for this.
