Be Open

To those who lived but never learned,
To those who died without having yearned,
To those who took but never gave,
I pity you.

For learning keeps the mind alive,
And yearning gives one passion and drive.
A selfless heart is loved most of all,
A couragous person will always stand tall.

So never stop looking for new ideas.
Never give up what makes your heart feel.
Do unto others as you would have done up to you.
Your light will shine forever and true.

Thank you. I was once told that an artist feels more acutely than others and that is why they can make people feel something when they write or act or paint or whatever their medium is. I want to help people feel more positive and hopeful and happy. This poem is directed inward as much as outward.

thank you very much. this poem was a spur of the moment one. y do u ask?

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
