Verses to Ponder: "Goodness builds on goodness in store."

Verses to Ponder:
"Goodness builds on goodness in store."

Dr Abe V Rotor

1. Lost time, lost opportunity and lost gain,
like passing wind that may not come again.

2. Who sees silver lining of clouds dark and bold
seeks not at rainbow's end a pot of gold.

Swallows on wire. Florida Blanca, Pampanga

3. A clenched fist softens under a blue sky
like high waves, after tempest, die.

4. When a flock of wild geese takes into the air
a leader must get ahead to break the barrier.


5. Even to a strong man, a little danger may create
the impression he's small or the problem is great.


6. In the doldrums or during sudden gusts,
the ship is much safer with a bare mast.


Nature in love.


7. Wind, current, and keel make a perfect trio
only if they have one direction to follow.

8. You really can't tell where a sailboat goes
without keel, but to where the wind blows.

9. The sound of a yes may be deep or hollow,
and knowing it only by its own echo.

10. Walk, don't run, to see better and to know
the countryside, Mother Nature and Thou.~

11. We do not have the time, indeed an alibi
to indolence and loafing, letting time pass by.

12. As we undervalue ourselves, so do others
undervalue us. Lo, to us all little brothers.

13. Self-doubt at the start is often necessary
to seek perfection of the trade we carry.

14. What is more mean than envy or indolence
but the two themselves riding on insolence.

15. The worst kind of persecution occurs in the mind,
that of the body we can often undermine.

16. How seldom, if at all, do we weigh our neighbors
the way we weigh ourselves with the same favors?

17. Friendship that we share to others multiplies
our compassion and love where happiness lies.

18. Evil is evil indeed - so with its mirror,
while goodness builds on goodness in store.

19. That others may learn and soon trust you,
show them you're trustworthy, kind and true.

20. Kindness and gladness, these however small
are never, never put to waste at all.21. Beauty seen once breaks a heart,

Wait for the image to depart.

22. Being right and reasonable;
Black or white, and measurable.

23. She's coy who speaks soft and light;
Smoke first before fire ignites.

24. Every promise you can't keep
Drags you into a deeper pit.


Purple sampaguita (Jasminium sambac)

25. To endure pain of hatred,
A leader’s wisdom is dared.

26. Make believe prosperity;
Sound of vessel when empty.

27. Take from the ant or stork,
Patience is silence at work.

28. Good wine grows mellow with age;
Good man grows into a sage.

29. He finds reason for living
Who sees a new beginning.

30. Beauty builds upon beauty,
Ad infinitum to eternity. ~
