Truth In Words
ymmiJ Mar 2019
What comes around
goes around and
Good for the goose is
good for the gander
Don't count your chickens
before they hatch
Didn't know who or what is
considered a good catch
A bird in hand is
worth two in a bush
Don't be in a constant rush
stop and smell the flowers
Every child has godly powers
As a above so below
All words we love and know
But these phrases
why do they stay so
forever in our mind and soul
must be a deeper truth being told
Words last in phrases and songs
to be remembered, nourished and retold
