All in the Nature of Man?

© R L MACDIVITT 2012

Some have greatness thrust upon them

So it has famously been said

Some have little chance of advancement

Stagnation is their lot instead

.

For some life offers a menu of choices

They see chance while others despair

The great inventors brought us changes

The thrifty in turn brought repairs

.

The artist creates stimulation

Sometimes beauty, sometimes shock sometimes both

They may paint, carve, sculpt or make music

Their labours bring with them spiritual growth

.

Then there are the patient in society

Their calmness masking their own hidden talents

They contribute little to life’s every-day facets

But when called upon they show they have brilliance

.

The entrapraneur only sees profit

And is often short of valuable time

If a project fails to generate wealth

It is shunned like the proceeds of crime

.

The humble frequently are unnoticed

Their talents often highly disguised

Care and compassion are intuitive

And life’s losers and failure’s are revived

.

The pen can never name all traites

Even over a lifetime of trying

But let us celebrate all that we notice

Our God-given greatness no sense in denying



This is wonderful in all respects, Roger. Just awesome. Thanks for sharing it!

Together in Spirit

©Roger Macdivitt 2012

Destined never to meet but linked in an experience

Love grew inside the mutual impossibility

Half a world apart, yet close

Never to share a native tongue, yet

The language we shared sufficed

Listening, contemplating and planning

Two lives, very different

Two hearts merging

Our joys were in common

We seemed to sing to each other our deepest thoughts

We laughed

We wept

Always looking forward

Then

All became quiet

Taken before our hands touched

Only sounds and feelings remain

My memories sing her praises

My voice, still able to sing, creates closeness like never before

Still the same distance apart

Together in spirit

Who knew that angry young man?

©_ Roger Macdivitt 2012-05-26.

Who knew that angry young man?

The world to him was crazy

The world was bad

He could make changes happen

That angry young man

.

Who knew the committed family man?

Protecting what was his

Loving the responsibility

Sharing a lifestyle

That gentle caring family man

.

Who knew the work-weary man?

Energy spent on a lifetime

Money spent too

Shared his wisdom

That tired, half-fulfilled young man

.

Who knew the content old man?

No time left to make change

Accepted the role of the angry young man

Seeing the mistakes

Understanding the problems

That sun-warmed and contented old man

.

You’ll see, the day arrives when it’s too late for anger

Too late for those family plans

Much too later for future-building

Too late to mourn life’s mistakes

That time to watch others with their challenged ideals
