Isn’t it strange
That princes and kings,
And clowns that caper
In sawdust rings,
And common people
Like you and me
Are builders for eternity?
Each is given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass,
A book of rules;
And each must make…
Ere life has flown…
A stumbling block
Or a steppingstone
~ R.L. Sharpe

love all three poems…thanks for sharing them…I’m a lover of words, poetry and writing and so thankful God gave us language and creativity
Beautiful, like lily pads we are if we allow the Lord to live through us to step right into him.
Cool poem. We tell our kids that all the time–we each have abilities, and every day you choose to use them to make your world better or worse, but it’s always your choice.
