Your Philosophy of Life
What is
Your philosophy of life
You say
You don’t have one
But you do
We all do
Consciously or Unconsciously
In the Xth Chapter
Of Saint Luke’s Gospel
An expert asks Jesus the question:
“Who is my neighbor?”
Jesus responds
With the parable
Of the “Good” Samaritan
A bunch of robbers
Beat a man up
And leave him
By the side of the road
The robbers philosophy
Is much like
The criminals in our world today
What is yours is mine
And I shall take it
A priest and Levite
Pass by
And keep on going
Their philosophy is much like
Most employers and employees
In today’s world
What is mine is mine
And I shall keep it
Then the Samaritan comes by
And stops and helps the poor man
His philosophy is
What is mine is yours
And I shall share it
So I ask myself
I ask you
Who is your neighbor
What is your philosophy
Towards them
Who can we give
A smile to
Who can we give
A listening ear to
Who can we say
A kind word about
A song is not a song
Until it is sung
A bell is not a bell
Until it is wrung
And love is not love
Until
IT IS GIVEN AWAY

Ps
WITNESS 1-18-13
“Through Jesus-therefore-let us continually offer to God
a sacrifice of praise
-the fruit of his
lips that confess his name
And do not forget to do good and SHARE with others for
with such sacrifices
God is pleased”
Hebrews 13:16-17
