~~Food For Thought ~ Thank God Its Monday Edition~~
~~Wishing~~
~Note~
Just a little sonnet to start the Monday journey. Njoy the day folks.
Do you wish the World were better?
Let me tell you what to do:
Set a watch upon your actions,
Keep them always straight and true.
Rid your mind of selfish motives,
Let your thoughts be clean and high.
You can make a little Eden
Of the sphere you occupy.
Do you wish the World were wiser?
Then suppose you make a start,
By accumulating wisdom
In the scrap book of your heart.
Do not waste on page on folly;
Live to learn and learn to live.
If you want to give men knowledge
You must get it ere you give.
Do you wish the world were happy?
Then remember day by day,
Just to scatter seeds of kindness,
As you pass along the way.
For the pleasures of the many
May be oft times traced to one.
As the hand that plants an acorn,
Shelters armies from the sun.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
