Minding My Business


I don't mind people's own business,
I never judge their work or their ways,
I never question opinions that differ,
Nor interfere with their fishy plays.

And most especially, I never spread rumors
About the private lives of those I see,
Lo! My mouth is like a wheel,
Sometimes it veers off course, you see.

But I am the one holding the gear,
So I’m responsible for the direction I take,
If madness governs my innermost thoughts,
My brain is the first to judge before my heart can awake.

For God placed my brain higher than my heart,
So I won’t be swayed by fleeting emotion,
There are many times I’ve been misjudged,
Miscalculated, misunderstood in my devotion.

By my words and actions, I may falter,
But I tell you, I never hate or curse,
For I am incapable of maligning anyone,
Just a speck of dust in this universe.

I live one day, and then I’m gone,
Yet my stories can be read, each page a mark,
For I am a creation, given life by God Almighty,
To praise Him, to shine, to ignite a spark.

From birth till I grow old, one thing I desire,
Is to live with peace and truthfulness in my soul,
Though I am weak and far from perfect,
I believe that trying is the key to becoming whole.

So I’ll strive to be better, to learn and to grow,
To embrace the journey, to let kindness flow,
For in this life, it’s the love that we share,
That leaves a legacy, a story beyond compare.

A Poem For all Ages - MGS

I write a poem that makes the world see,    a woven thread wherein hearts can be free. I write a poem that older folks feel,    echoes of wisdom, truth that is real.

Plate Of Plenty

If you don't feel like eating, think of them! This photo has so much pain. 😒 Food is life, but brain fog for an ungrateful heart.  If you don't like what's on your plate,  don’t toss it aside, don’t seal its fate.  Each morsel holds a story, a journey begun, A  gift from the earth, a battle won.   Imagine a morning when the table is bare,  what will you do when hunger calls loud, No bread, no fruit, just an empty stare.  The abundant meals and the warmth of a feast, All vanish in silence and hunger unleashed.  When a pantry is empty, and your stomach aches.   Don't dare to wish!  So, before you discard what you do not desire, think  of the hands that toiled, the hearts that inspire.  Each bite is a blessing, a chance to reflect on  those who have little, on lives we protect.  So, savor the flavors, let gratitude flow, For  the food on your table, let appreciation grow.  For one day you may wake, a...

Gratitude for Provided Lunch

Why We Need to Stop Wasting Our School Lunch Recently, a teacher raised a frustrating concern: students are throwing away the school-provided lunches. It’s a tough conversation, but it is one we need to have. The lunch provided by the PSS (Public School System) is a privilege. Many communities and organizations do not have the resources to offer free daily meals, and we are fortunate to have this support. Being thankful for what we receive creates a better school environment and shows appreciation for the staff who work hard to feed us every day. If you don't want to eat your meal, please do not throw it in the trash. Give it to a classmate who wants it. Consistently discarding food creates negative feedback that could jeopardize the entire lunch program. If we want this program to survive, we need to adapt. That means being willing to eat fruits and vegetables, rather than just sticking to the usual foods we prefer. This program is an opportunity to build healthier eating habi...
