Poetry Corner – Who

Who you are, and what you do,

Is a result of what you put into your mind.

Experiences and knowledge and emotions,

Fill your mind!

Our reputation is not built by wishes.

Instead, it is established by our actions and words spoken.

There are three basic building blocks,

The first is knowledge, the second experience,

And the third consists of our emotions.

Parents should train up a child in the way they should go,

So that this is so that chain is not broken.

Solomon understood, something that few of us realise.

Our mortality is an important part of us,

We all breathe one breath.

All go to one place.

All are from the dust, and all return to dust.

Everything is vanity.

Be careful of who you trust!

We are all being tested,

This life is temporary, but not the end.

Solomon recognised that our conduct

During this mortal life does matter.

So, who are you, and on who do you depend?
