the undertaking
the undertaking belongs to the following groups:
All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, Live, Love, Dream: , The Word Tree and WMGDiscerning true direction
What of this life?
Am I to merely exist, or inspire?
Who chooses?
Who chooses to make a choice?
How will they measure me?
The questions twirled,
and answers once tangled…
Emerge
Such mystery we create
such illusions, our shield
from the simplicity of Life
The measure is no matter
But the meaning,
Now there is something
With sharing,
Not self
Our efforts shall endure
A small step
can be a giant leap with
positivity and perspective
Is expectation worth it?
Harbouring disappointment
Heavy on your shoulders
You see the burden dispel,
And the heart burst
With every smile you create
The ease with which,
one makes a difference
Makes one different
And it is not the act
of planting one tree
That realises your gift
It is the leaves
That shade someone else
Which gives it weight
Your tree, is their shade
Your ethos, is their smile
Your choice, is the true Legacy
