Looking For The Word

Jerry Reynolds

 

To be all talk
and no listen
is not amazing grace.

To be wrong
and too proud to admit it
is not keeping the faith.

The deepest truths
are not those screeching
but whispers to embrace.

    I really like this Jerry. But I already see it's content has gone over the head of one faith keeper.

    Though deeply religious, there are non so blind as those who will not see.

      Thanks, Dusk.
      We are running headlong into that here.

      Believe it or not I completely missed the religious connotations, which I just saw as poetic expression.
      However that doesn't alter for me the absolute value of each of those propositions.
      Thanks Jerry.

        Thanks, Dave.
        I struggled with the classification. There were so many religious references I went with that.

        Very true words Jerry.
