When in others goodness we see,
We can then know the same can be,
Within ourselves if we so choose
To allow the good, the bad to lose.
For what in others we've recognised,
We've then unveiled, undisguised,
A true Reflection of both dark and light,
What is wrong and what's right is right.
What in others we see and do admire,
The very same for, we should aspire.
What in others we find appalling,
We should be in ourselves uninstalling.
When good in others we do see,
We should not harbour jealousy.
Instead incorporate their goodness shown,
Make it part of us, our very own.
This is how we grow, become mature,
Build self worth, become secure,
In ourselves, who we are,
Polishing to shine our inner star.
We see in others our own Reflection,
Which then affects our own projection.
What we project is what we grow,
In our gardens of life that we sow.
The things we say; the things we do
Paint our Reflection in a way that's true.
So, our words and actions we project
Only on ourselves they do reflect.
💗 Have a blessed day! 💗

As your day begins, throughout, and when your day is done."

"Why do people who help outsiders fail to help their own?
Giving, caring, kindness, and all charity begins at home!"

"Charity Begins At Home"

Many people'll give to strangers, folks they've never met,
While to and for their closest, they conveniently forget.
Many people will give to others on the world's other side,
But when their own are in need, the same is not applied.
Many will donate time, money, items, and so much more
To those they know not or barely and will keep no score.
Yet, these same when giving to their closest, keep track
And very often will expect their giving to be paid back.
Many give to charities and churches, never truly knowing
What their giving will be used for; where it's 'really' going.
People will and do give blindly without absolute guarantee,
But give nothing when the results of, they could clearly see.
Whatever became of the saying, "Charity Begins At Home"?
Blind giving and to strangers is the prevailing syndrome.
Because those we know personally, to help, we hesitate,
While with those we know not, to help, we can't wait!
This syndrome affliction where giving must be distant,
On both large and small scale, is pretty much consistent.
Within the private sector and throughout our government,
Aid is given in abundance but in distance, it is sent.
Where's family helping family, neighbour helping neighbour;
Communities working together with time, money, and labour?
Where's 'our' government, with we, the people, by and for,
With millions hungry, homeless, yet aid's sent to a foreign door?
People do amazing acts of giving when outsiders are in need,
While those within their circle warrant no or little heed.
If we can find time and funds for those who should be secondary,
We should be able to do likewise for those to us who are primary.
There's no criticising of giving here; let this be understood,
Because giving in itself is always a deed classified as good.
However, with our priorities especially, adjustment is in order,
Since Charity Begins At Home, within our circles and our border.

Greetings everyone, from Artsieladie! ♥
America is being destroyed because of greed.
Dedicated to all our American Veteran Heroes who have sacrificed so much to protect and preserve our Constitutional Rights, Freedoms and Americans' safety. We Americans are indebted immeasurably to all our Veteran Heroes. We must honour them by standing together as United Americans seeing to it all that our Heroes sacrificed for, is not taken away from us by those who seek huge financial gains for themselves alone. ANYONE, including our government, our politicians, CIA, etc., who jeopardizes Americans' rights, freedoms, safety, and so forth, is an abominable disgrace for such individuals profoundly dishonour and desecrate all that our service men and women have given to, sacrificed for our country, with so many who have sacrificed the ultimate by giving up their lives. Our American Heroes did NOT make the sacrifices they did for the greedy elite, the greedy corporations, to bleed our country and Americans dry nor to make America a puppet for or a part of a one world government. Our Heroes gave their lives TO KEEP AMERICA FREE!! It is our responsibility as Americans to make damn sure, AMERICA REMAINS FREE!! We can ONLY accomplish this as a UNITED PEOPLE.
United, we stand; divided, we fall;
It is up to us ALL to make the call.
We either honour, preserve, and save
Or forfeit and dishonour all who gave.
When we work together to keep America free,
We honour those who gave ALL to make us be;
But against each other, using forces of hate,
We forfeit freedom’s sacrifices and desecrate.

Across spacious skies the eagle flies
Over mountains, valleys, and plains;
On majestic wing but with no song to sing
For the greedy are robbing all gains.
A nation's seeds of many colours, creeds,
Created with liberty and justice for all;
Divided is wrong when united is strong,
But division now threatens her to fall.
The eagle's land once so grand,
The home of the brave and free
Is under the spell of the wicked cartel,
While sleeping eyes wake not to see.
The eagle weeps as darkness creeps
In shadows across this great land.
Our freedom's story, once of glory,
Now written by the elitists' hand.
For all the lives lost, the ultimate cost,
The Eagle Cries, shedding rivers of tears,
As the greedy elite conspire to defeat
America, the eagle trembles in fears.
Though the eagle still soars over her shores
Where once was widespread brotherly Love,
The Eagle Cries down now over many a town,
A dismal view is the sight from up above.
For all the many lies, in shame The Eagle Cries;
The deafened hear not its piercing screams
Of the eagle, forlorn, as it trumpets to warn
The People and the threat to our dreams.
From uncertain skies The Eagle Cries,
Shuddering, gripped with fears;
Over America, the great, of uncertain fate,
Her majesty fading, reflects in eagles' tears.
Across spacious sky will the eagle again fly
Over a land where people united, stand,
Proud and free from sea to shining sea,
Under God's Grace and Guiding Hand?
