‘How Many Times’

Do you know the things you do...🌹

‘How Many Times’

How many times

Do you stop
To pray
Even just where
You are
Having a few
Words
To say

For family
For friends
For mother’s
For others

How many times
Do you think
About positive
Thoughts
Or do you let
Fear invade
Your ear

How many times
Do you think
Of your health

Instead of your
Wealth
For wealth without
Health
Won’t
Go very far
Money is not
Who you are

How many times
Do you take
Others hardships
To heart
Sending a small
Thought or a blessing
It’s worth
Learning this lesson

How many times
Do you open your heart
From the start
Willing to allow
It to fall apart

To make somebody’s
Day
By going out of your
Way

Or do you think
You are a piece
Of expensive art
Which needs to
Be kept far apart
Locked under key
For nobody to see

Covered in lies
Hearing no cries
Having no ties

With each lesson
We learn
It’s like your first
Turn
To re-create
To participate

It’s how many times
That we fall
That finally
Allows us through
That door

Doesn’t matter
If you rich
Or you’re poor

A door
Is a door

So look deeper
And see
How many times
Will it be

Search deeper
Look harder
Share wider

And everything
Inside you
Will find
Who
You are
Finally
Meant

To be .
