'ACTION'
Let wisdom ring,
Its message high.
Never let precious
Moments, pass you by.
The only real
Failure in life,
Is the failure to try.
Have a little fun
Before you die.
Ideas are,
Funny little things.
They don't work,
Unless you do!
Lovingly stretch those
Exquisite wings.
And beat the odds,
To encounter your cue.
All the so-called,
"Secrets of success"
Will not work unless,
You are willing,
To explore each avenue;
And choose the best.
Indeed success,
Is all about
The follow through.
A true teacher
Does not preach
Her own beliefs,
Until she does so
By her action.
Getting others to
Turn over new leafs,
Requires equal amounts
Of one's own,
Practice and participation.
Yes! Action speaks
Louder than words.
But not nearly as often.
Naturally kind acts,
Are preferred.
So even, the most
Stubborn hearts
Can soften.
If you don't
Climb the mountain,
You can't
View the plain.
If you don't,
Drink the water
From the fountain,
Then you must drink it
From the rain.
Remember, great love
And great achievement,
Involve great risk.
Hence be,
Sure to make,
Your own 'back-up' disc.
All necessary care
Must you take
To avoid loss
And heartbreak.
Only those
Who do nothing,
Will incur no mistake.
A little imagination,
Is all it will take.
Some people grin
And bear it;
Others smile and do it.
Some people like
To hear it,
Others like
To declare it.
Anything not attempted,
Remains impossible.
But, if you
Believe in yourself,
Everything is possible!
A real go-getter,
Can stop any
Dream from sinking.
Believe me,
Positive anything,
Is better than
Negative thinking.

James 2:14-26
'What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does
not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is
poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them,
“Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things
needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it
does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith and I
have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show
you my faith by my works. ... '
