Your writings always bring a smile to my heart and they are always focused on Higher Ground. I find no fault or suggestions for this exquisite expression of lofty thoughts. Would that I had your skill for the rhythm and phraseology the brings your work to life.

I enjoyed your poetic reminder of how our words and actions affect others. The line: "Our deeds provide the legacy we leave" is so true. I think if realized this as we go through each day, it would be a kinder world.

To control the tongue - the Bible warns about that - and for me, I'm often off-hand, saying things quick without much thought. This poem makes me think of that. Well said.

Hello Jay,
I really enjoy reading your spiritual poems, especially your sonnets.
They don't need to have a glorious presentation picture for me to award you with a six-star rating. It's all in the meaning behind your words and you're an exceptional writer when it comes to expressing your feelings.
God gifted you with a great talent many years ago and I think He even enjoys reading your thoughts. Maybe that's why you're still writing?
Take care, my friend...Bill

These last to lines are profound and certainly could be a mantra to live by.
May words, thoughts , deeds lead on to higher ground,
'tis there life's greater blessings may be found.
Well done Jake.

Hi there, sometimes I think that people will never learn. There is however so much that hurts and so much that gives joy. If we can use out tongues and heart to uplift people or someone next to us, it would be extraordinary. The world would be a better place. But I wonder if this is possible. I love this writing, so full of good advice.

It is indeed a better way to live. If we could just rise above it all when challenging circumstances tempt us to act in anger or rage, life could be a lot more peaceful for us and those around us.

For the sake of meter:
'(Until) we know the (pow'r) of spoken word,"
