Poem: Just A Thought, But One Well Worth Considering! Poem by Professor Dr. Stanley Collymore

By Stanley Collymore

God gave us life and, when He did so, He also accorded
us the freedom to make choices of our own, as well
as the will to either enforce or rescind those
decisions we'd made. That said, He also
expected us to act responsibly, if not
all of the time then at least for
most of it. For we're human beings created in His
own image and who're blessedly endowed with
the gift of reason and the power to use that
sacred gift advisedly. Not act like com-
puterized automatons incapable of
adjudging what is logically and
sensibly right, or what is quite
detrimentally and, rather
undoubtedly, wrong!

So wouldn't it be worth both our reflection
and time, if instead of principally always
selfishly thinking of just our self,
and usually so to the detriment
of others, that rather we
pause sometimes, charitably consider, and
seriously reflect on how best in this life,
we're especially given from Heaven,
that we can all of us accordingly,
earnestly divest from our en-
trenched selfishness and,
both individually and
mutually, generally
behave far more
altruistically?

Author's Comments:
This poem is written in grateful appreciation to all those who of their own and most gracious volition, have both voluntarily and consistently made a significant contribution in my life.

It's also dedicated to all my followers globally whose interest in my work is an added incentive to what I'm carrying out and truly love doing.

Equally so, it's for the Management and staff at Twitter who for the past 10 years - thanks to all of you for remembering my 10th anniversary with you - who've so admirably put up with me for the past decade. Thank you! And God bless you all!
