We all are God’s children
We were meant to walk tall.
No one has a right
To make you feel defied
Make you feel second best
Make you crawl.
Never let anyone
Play with your dignity.
Don’t let any one browbeat you
Make you feel second best
If someone does
Just turn and walk away
Everyone can’t fight back
Cant settle scores of insult
By sword or by merciless tongue
But we can always ignore a crook.
Your wisdom is inspiring!
Love the title of the poem, so captivating.
i have to remind myself these words often
Well said…
thanks a lot satyakam.
agree,
awesome words!
thanks jingle.
Trish you speak with so much wisdom, we all can learn from you. We all are God’s children and He loves us all the same. Like Paul, I have to die daily in order to remember we are not anyone’s judge. Our job is to love everyone no matter who they are, or what they do with their life, and I am so thankful that through your writings we are reminded of how God wants us to treat each other. You are truly a blessing my friend.
dear viola,
i too believe that its our duty to hold as many people as possible in our heart with love/compassion.
you are so full of love and wisdom that being near you makes one feel blessed.
lots of love.
I love your last line…walking away is dignified, indeed.
that is the case of attachments, all attachments.
good job, Trisha.
I love and miss you too.
hugs

I usually do this. if i realize that a person is deliberately hurting me again and again i walk away without looking back.
lots of love.

Interestingly enough I have a similar post to yours, representing the same universal truth in nature.
Can be found here if you’d like to have a look:

Hope your having a super weekend.
I think likeminded people often think the same way too. so very often i have seen that i have read a poem and it appeared that the person has said what i would have loved to say.
you too have a fabulous, funfilled weekend.
One who seeks the Soul will find the peace
All around from chaotic world as this will cease
Then in total silence of to be calm and still
The opening of emptiness this One must fill
As Now you have entered the realm God has made
To then be the child of God always as Now you have been saved
enjoy as well Golden Lotus of God’s Love(+)

We are all God’s children…..:)
I love that the truth is spoken so nicely.
Have a peaceful week.
very true. i think so too.
this is an unspoken insight that speaks to a catholic boarding school background. Awesome! I like it.
no i am a through and through hindu but i love the words of bible and budhdhism and any other religious text that talks about brotherhood of living beings and love.
Some walk away to “live” another day.
This is rich.
agreed. sometimes its wise to walk away.
