What are you wearing,
When you start your day?
Does a smile go on first?
Is compassion your way?
A must is some kindness,
And tolerance is too.
A scarf of acceptance,
With an honesty tattoo.
Not just of fiber.
Are the clothes we put on,
Sometimes the best,
Are emotionally drawn.
We choose what we wear,
What we take to the world,
Our choices define us,
Our secrets unfurled.
So, begin every day,
With intentions to give,
And what you will receive,
Is the best way to live.
So original!… Lovely! A ‘Very Pamela’ poem. xx

I really love this Pam. My dad always told me that it’s better to give than to receive. When I was young I thought he was nuts. But as I matured I realized the wisdom in his words,
What a fantastic teacher you would be. Kids would learn so much and never know they were being taught. They would think they were just having fun! 🤗

As always, a fun piece for our mid-week. What we wear does identify us in more ways than we think.

Lovely poem, Quiall. I can’t say I am dressed in such finery right when I get out of bed, but I try right after my first cup of coffee.
