Positive Reception


Diamonds sparkle on the boughs
of snow kissed evergreens,
Through frozen moonlight shining down
upon things so serene.


But now in fields ribbon flows,
Colors all spring free.
Dancing upon melted toes
with rainbow revelry.


Violets trail in purple mist,
Honeysuckles twine.
Rosebuds lay in wedded bliss,
Upon a tangled vine.


Winter no longer stalks the land
With faceless bitter snow.
Spring is here, and oh how grand,
To feel warm breezes blow.

A Little Walk Around Yourself

      

       When you're criticizing others
       And are finding here and there
       A fault or two to speak of
       Or a weakness you can't bear.
  
       When you're blaming someone's weakness
       Or accusing some of self...
       It's time that you went out
       To walk around yourself.
  
       There are lots of human failures
       In the average of us all.
       And lots of grave shortcomings.
       In the short ones and the tall.
       

But when we think of evils
       Men should lay upon the shelves,
       It's time we all went out
       To take a walk around ourselves.
      
       We need so often in this life
       This balancing of scales.
       This seeing how much in us wins,
       And how much in us fails.
       
       But before you judge another
       Just to lay him on the shelf...
       It would be a splendid plan
       To take a walk around yourself.
