Be

Be a bud but bloom to be a flower beautiful Be a flower that fragrance spreads far and wide Be a tree that firmly stands with mighty trunk Be a beast but be in forests amidst wild fauna Be a mound that’s mildly off the ground Be a hill that people climb with ease though ill Be a mountain mighty, majestic and marvelous Be a stream that softly flows silently onto the river Be a river roaring and rapidly riding the land Be a forest dense with undergrowth, flora, fauna Be a waterfall cascading down the mountain-side Be a preacher practicing the precepts you propound Be a teacher teaching tenets, training tutoring tiny tots Be a doctor decent, doing duty dexterously all life-time Be a leader loving, learning, living for the people led Be a human being sane, humane in harmony with heaven Copyright by Dr John Celes 5-07-2015
