An Inspired Poem: Seeds of Tomorrow

SeedsTomorrow

In gardens of commerce and fields of thought,

A regenerative leader tirelessly sought,

Not merely to take but to plant anew,

Seeds of wisdom, love, and virtue.

With hands soiled in care and mind robust,

A conscious path that minds the Earth,

A way of leading, giving birth.

To dreams sustainable, pure, …

An Inspired Poem: Climbing the Right Mountain

MtHood

Climbing the right mountain, a journey of the soul

An adventure that beckons, to reach a new goal

A quest for meaning, a path to be found

The path is winding, and the climb is steep

Challenging at times, with obstacles to defeat

But with every step, a new strength is gained

And the spirit is lifted, to ascend and remain

The view from the top, a reward beyond compare

A vista of wonder, a vision so rare

A glimpse of heaven, in this …
