books in the running brooks, Jack Hammersley, sermons in stones, The quiet man, tongues in trees, William Shakespeare
Whilst doubters and begrudgers preen their feathers with their heads askew
I say God bless and do not envy them
My life in peace of mind, for I have I sailed the seven seas
Through storms where tides just come and go
For money never earned a man respect and does not prove that he is true
***
Look for the men who give to others, and do not say that they are great
They are the ones who do not try to shine in gilded gold . . .
Look for the men who understand the tongues in trees, that speak of man’s reality

“And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.”
