True Self
Within any given day, week, month or year
Our
hearts and actions become very clear
Either love, compassion and kindness is shown
Or
selfishness, hate and anger are grown
Whether felt for a parent, spouse or neighbor
A
sibling, child or a complete stranger
This world is but practice for another
Where we
will once again be living together
And who knows, when we finally get there
To our joy
or sadness we will discover
That our feelings here, toward our fellowmen
We also
feel toward our Father in Heaven
For given enough time, days, weeks, or years
Our true
self emerges in spite of our fears
And our heart is revealed for all to see
Possessing hate and envy or love and charity
