What Will You Do Today? Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

What will you do today?

Sorry to hear your unhappy.
What is wrong? Your on holiday.

Nothing much to do no money?
Broke? Spent a lot of money
you did not have this summer?
Still paying for it? This is life.

The money is gone spent
for choices reasons made.
This makes you unhappy?

Enough for each day its own evil.
Have you not many blessings
to be grateful for? Carpe Diem.

Oh yes, I have. I do not have
a problem with this, another
here can’t seem to live within
our means and be happy.

Working on that too.

“Happy are those conscious
of their spiritual need,
since the kingdom of the
heavens belongs to them.

“Happy are those who mourn
since they will be comforted.

“Happy are the mild-tempered ones,
since they will inherit the earth.

“Happy are those hungering
and thirsting for righteousness,
since they will be filled.

“Happy are the merciful,
since they will be shown mercy.

“Happy are the pure in heart,
since they will see God.

“Happy are the peaceable,
since they will be called ‘sons of God.’

“Happy are those who have been
persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
since the kingdom of the heavens
belongs to them.

“Happy are YOU when people reproach
YOU and persecute YOU
and lyingly say every sort of wicked
thing against YOU for my sake.

“Rejoice and leap for joy, since YOUR reward
is great in the heavens; for in that way
they persecuted the prophets prior to YOU.” Matthew 5: 3-12.

Thus spoke Jesus after he went up
into the mountain and sat and began
teaching his (talmidim) disciples. Matthew 5: 1-2.

Blessed are all who follow these sacred teachings.
