Inherit

Penned on April 27 2008 Seven grains: Compassion Always respect time Truthful to ones own soul Helping everyone around you Abstaining youself from jealousy Handwork for keeping pace with destiny

Inherit

Seven grains and the modest tongue he inherited
when the parasol blustered in the breeze
Now the days turn Grey and he transverses with the time
with hard knocks he crusaded with the destiny
and fabricated his quarries repleted with gems
But still somewhere in his warehouse
He owns those Seven grains and the modest tongue

Seven grains here means

�"�"Compassion 
�"�"-Always respect time
�"�"truthful to ones own soul 
�"�"-helping everyone around you
�"�"�"Abstaining youself from jealousy
�"�"�"hardwork for keeping pace with your destiny
�"�"�"�"contended with what one posseses

these things are important for me .I think it would differ from individual to individuals . but I try to abide by these most of the time

Well put. Referring to the lessons as grains is brilliant, along with the 'modest tongue' statement. The poem itself reflects ideas not listed within the seven, and I love that you separated the ideas from the poem to illustrate their importance. Very well done.

The one lesson I few know, but all should know is to always respect time. Thank you for including it.
