Who We Are (Poem)
What we do when no one is watching;
What we think about;
What we crave for that is not visible;
How we respond when we are stretched to our yield point;
How we regard persons who seem of a lower class;
How we celebrate our wins;
How we endure our losses;
What we take credit for;
How we acknowledge the contributions of others;
And how we face our fears
Tells us more than we can imagine.
The question is, “Are we listening?”
And yet another, “Are we willing to make needed changes?”
And another, “Are we aware that these simply tell us who we are?”
We are not what we say we are, we are the lives we live.
“Be an example … in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.” (1 Timothy 4:12, NLT).
“In conclusion, my friends, fill your minds with those things that are good and that deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honorable.” (Philippians 4:8, GNT).
Thank you.
