INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHT . . .

The ultimate measure of a man is

Not where he stands in moments of

Comfort and Convenience,

But where he stands at times of

Challenge and Controversy.

POETIC INSPIRATION

"THANK YOU FOR"

Thank you for the air I breathe

And for creating Nature

And the Beautiful flowers and Trees.

Thank you for giving me eyes to see

Your wonderful creation

And ears to enjoy the

Vibrant sound of humans,

Exotic animals and oceanic motions;

The sound of waters clashing

Against the land.

It amazes me to think that

You designed the earth

And all of its components

With a simple phrase,

"Let there be"

Instead of needing multiple hands.

Thank you for the ability to use

My teeth to taste treats like

Chocolate, cotton candy and caramel,

And indulge in a good ol' fashion

Soulful Southern feast.

Thank you . . .

(abbreviated version)

~ By Lawanda Lee
