Proverbs 27:21 

21 The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,
And a man is valued by what others say of him.

 

Prioritize.(phil)                                            

 

Prioritize! That call comes ringing

The closer you get to the end

the more your efforts sing it

At times for good … or to vent

 

It shows your values chosen.

Mostly wrong … an endless chore.

Self-dominance directs  intrusion

like foaming waves bashing the shore.

 

Incomplete … a fore-gone conclusion.

Life is grand for friend and foe.

Is this than my man-made illusion

made up as an excuse to onwards go.

 

I'll make up soon for today's failing.

What a joke … very soon never comes.

Deep inside the real problem is ailing

a lost way of life ... to comfort prone.

 

Am I not my brother's keeper?

Lost in self how can I tell?

Will I not owe the reaper?

Divided between heaven and well?

 

Crawling slow through life's syndrome

am I to be an exception?

My past before … a swinging door

taking all my attention.

 

Grief and joy embraced in love

complete without pretension.

To-day is all … a gift from above

so strange that I should mention.
