Turn The Other Cheek

Give not evil to those who give evil.

To those who are angry, offer your concern.

To those who are loud, offer your silence but not an audience.

To those who are hateful, offer your peace.

To those who speak ill of you, offer your apology and understand their perspective.

To those who seek to do you harm, offer your absence.

To those who desire to get ahead, allow them; since it may not be your time.

To those who want what is yours, give to them. Attachment to material things is corruptive to the soul.

To those who desire to ignite your passions of flesh, flee from them. One’s passions serve only to destroy the soul.

To those who are in need, offer to them your compassion.

To those who are in want, offer to teach them how they might obtain such.

To those who claim to be “just” spiritual, be cautious; their god might be themselves and may want your worship.

To those who agree with everything you say and believe, take care not to walk with them everywhere. If both of you are blind, both of you shall fall together into the pit.

To those who do you wrong, give to them your forgiveness.

To those who wish to give their opinion of you, ask them how will it make them feel better.

To those who wish to offer constructive criticism, listen silently then offer your appreciation.

To those who say they love but never show that love in action, teach them yourself how true Love appears.

Dinner is on the wall Children crying, infant screaming Fear freezes her when he calls Between them there is silence peeling Its the way they only know Its how love they struggle to show He knows nothing more She can’t bear the blood and sores She understands she must flea But how else can she Be? _______________ Copyright © 2020 HeardWords America

His Love for Her

Don't leave me here! Don't you leave me here this way! What will all my friends say? Who was it that carried me on the bier? Well, will you pray for me? Or can't you wait to see another man, if only you can? Life with you was never, the kind I wanted. You called me "friend" That was after you put an end to our coupling. That was after you had my ring cut off your finger. I can hear you singing after that. You had your own definition for being a swinger. A woman, free and unattached. Since then we've never been intimate. No matter the many times I had to wait. You would love me Only by cleaning and laundrying for me. Still you'd never give me a bath. We had a life together you never let last. Don't leave me here! Don't you leave me here this way! What will all my friends say? "She buried him, with his love for her. She's not so demur." _________ copyright ©️ 2023 SDKilmer, LLC All Rights Reserved www SDKi
