Elevate the soul
In hand-crafted coins, wealth may reside,
But do not let them govern your soul's tide.
Forged in fire, with skill and might,
Their worth lies in use, not worship's light.
Let knowledge be your guiding star,
Science and literature, like beacons afar.
Seek wisdom in each written page,
To illuminate your mind and engage.
Resist the lure of mortal praise,
As God alone deserves our tireless gaze.
Let earthly joys remain your guide,
But place your faith in heavens wide.
Though books may gleam with lofty prose,
Their words are not divine, as some suppose.
For truth resides in sacred writ,
From which alone our spirits draw light.
So detach yourself from material gain,
And elevate your soul to heights untamed.
For in the worship of God alone,
Lies true wealth, wisdom, and a life well-known.

Another which touches so eloquently on the truth of our earthly predicament. As Rose has commented this is most certainly a poem to begin the day as it creates a good perspective on life and restores true values.
Thank you for this,
Keith
