How do we become good creatures
Is it in the small things we do during the day
We begin with compassion in our hearts
We feed the lonely goose that cannot fly
We plant trees creating balance on earth
We walk in nature respecting the sacred land
We commune with the wild birds, deer and squirrels
How do we become good creatures
Is it in the small things we do during the day
We begin with a bit of kindness in our souls
We smile at those that cross our daily path
We sing with a song of hope for the future
We listen with an ear of deeper understanding
We pray for those who have lost the will to pray
How do we become good creatures
Is it in the small things we do during the day
We begin with a peaceful meditative mind
We speak with soft words of encouragement
We sympathize with those who are grieving
We dream for a society of higher consciousness
We love with a heart of gratitude & forgiveness
What's Going On? Being a Good Creature

I love this poem, True. Feeding the injured goose, smiling at those we pass, kindness, Being Peace. An inspiring poem to begin a year when we will need to practice all these things.
ReplyDeleteThank you my friend. A little kindness goes a long way. Happy New Year
Delete"We pray for those who have lost the will to pray" The best way to be in peace, I think. A happy new year should comprise all the actions that come out of those beautiful thoughts expressed in the poem.
ReplyDeleteSumana we need to bring positive energy into our world. Thank you for your comment.
DeleteAgree with Sumana. And it is in the small things we do to show love.
ReplyDeleteThank you Alex I do believe it is the small things we do. A smile, holding a door for someone. Being considerate helps make our world a bit better.
DeleteAlways aim for the stars, I say!
ReplyDeleteAmen to that!
DeleteEverything starts with small things! A very nice poem to think about at the beginning of a new year.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary and Happy New Year! Wishing you days filled with something to smile about.
DeleteI'm planting and nurturing trees - making a mini forest. Good advice in your poem.
ReplyDeleteBrother Ollie keep planting those trees and seeds of thoughts.
DeleteIndeed it is the small things that bring pleasure and the power of prayer is not to be underestimated.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Rall. May all your heartfelt prayers be heard
DeleteWhat a beautiful and uplifting poem - I agree magic is in the simple things - Jae
ReplyDeleteThere is beauty in the simple things if we truly look. Happy New Year!
DeleteYour 3 catalogues of the small things are profound and convincing--if these be small things, then YES, it is in the small things . . . .
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! May we always marvel at the small wondrous things in life.
DeleteSo many small things we do can grow us into much kinder people.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Susie - let us grow a community of kindness...
DeleteHappy New Year, True Blue! How do we become good creatures? Hmmm... well, by being frank, even when it hurts a bit (so no tip-toeing whatsoever), by being reliable (also in bad times), and I guess by caring more about people than thumbs up and your own image on social media. That's a start.
ReplyDeleteHello True
How are you?
Hi Blue! So nice to see you here. Being reliable and caring! To that I surely agree. How are you?
DeleteTired but good. Thanks for asking, True :)
DeleteGet some rest
