The Law Of Life
November 5th, 2006I found this poem in an old book of unknown poets. Nobody knows who wrote it or how long ago it was written but when you read it you realize that no matter when it was written, the message remains pertinent for all time. It is in essence a brief summary of all the universal laws which govern our existence and reminds us of how easy it is to bring happiness into our lives when we simply understand that what we give in life is what we get back.
Whatever you give away today or think or say or do
Will multiply about tenfold and then return to you.
It may not come immediately, nor from the obvious source,
But the LAW applies unfailingly through some invisible force.
Whatever you feel about another, be it love or hate or passion,
Will surely bounce right back to you in some clear or secret fashion.
If you speak about some person, a word or praise or two,
Soon tons of other people will speak kind words to you.
Our thoughts are broadcasts of the soul, no secrets of the brain.
Kind ones bring us happiness, petty ones, untold pain.
Giving works as surely as reflections in a mirror.
If hate you send, hate you’ll get back, but loving brings love nearer.
Remember, as you start this day, and duty crowds your mind,
That kindness comes so quickly back, to those who first are kind.
Let that thought and this one direct you through each day…
The only things we ever keep are the things we give away.
