Encouraging words ..written or spoke…
Memories involved…brought out ..or evoked…
Feelings explored..examined…perused…
Part of our souls…familiar and used…
Friendships and families..Sometimes neglected…
Recalling their need..sometimes resurrected…
Work ethic and discipline…sometimes rewarded…
Lazy excuses …the sloth beast is thwarted…
Education and desire..to always help others…
Combined with a fire….wont burn out ..or be smothered…
Children with needs…the untold reminder…
Our own lives.. have meaning…they make us kinder…
Politics withstanding…don’t be fooled by the glitter…
Substance stands out.. if you look hard..not flitter…
The mean that surrounds you.. defeated with ease..
Every day survival…gives your heart and mind ease…
Each moment a power ..that watches and guides…
Proven a constant… in everyone’s lives…

I liked the part baout the sloth beast, it was a turn of phrase I hadn't seen before.
