There is always a better way. If you can admit it to yourself you can find it. Words can heal the heart, lift the soul, and even make us dance when sung to music. May all the blessings of this world make it better for all of us.

Dear Jay,
A faultless presentation of a sonnet, displaying all of your usual sincerity regarding life and living.
"Our deeds provide the legacy we leave,"
So true.

Excellent much to be said about this one with a voice of true reason and a gravity that holds its universe in harmony and peace. It delivers well and is crafted my a master quill.

Your well-written, thought-provoking sonnet conveys a strong message about the power of our words and deeds to affect the lives and futures of others. Some people never realize how their words impact others.

Yes, and thank goodness for the higher ground of the afterlife. There are many days when living life on earth feels as though we are existing in the living hell. Very nicely written. The best to you with this piece.

I admired your wise advice about dedicating ourselves to positive thoughts and deeds. Your rhymed sonnet form and "web" metaphor were very effective. Cheers- Joan

A wonderful positive message convey beautifully by your sonnet. When they go low, we go high were echos this past few years. Conducting one's life on higher ground is the goal of all Christians. Thank you for sharing.

Your final line, May words, thoughts , deeds lead on to higher ground,
'tis there life's greater blessings may be found. make me think of our confession in church "We have sinned against you in thought, word and deed, by what we have done and by what we left undone." It had me reflecting on both. Good thoughts.

Hi Jaybird, You remind people every day of the simplicities in life and that the best things in life, are indeed free. The only thing that they may cost you is your time and patience, a small price to pay for the end results. :)
