Points to Ponder

When you hurt someone
and care to apologize,
When you vow to shun
and redress your lies.   
 
When you look
beyond your creed
and help those
who are in need,
In the midst of your troubles
When you hold your faith stable,
Of heaven and hell
I cannot censure or exalt
Neither validate nor fault
But you’ll live your life
free of stress and strife.
 
When it becomes easy
to give than receive,
When it becomes easy
to assist than deceive,
When it becomes easy
to lend than borrow,
You live your life
free of pain and sorrow.
 
It behooves us to live for today
to trust in God come what may.
