Will and Willing

Are you willing...

Willing to run life’s chores?

Are you willing

To do those things

That life wants you to do?

Not because life wants it for itself,

Life wants it for you

So you are fulfilled.

Someone sometime asks you for help

And you might actually offer help

But have you noticed

What happened inside,

How willing were you?

Were you willing to sow happiness,

Were you ready with an open heart

Or did your mind fill with reasons

To stop you from a quick prompt start?

Did a gaggle of slights

From the past

Or memories of how you were denied

Create a din inside your mind

And delay the golden moment?

How willing are you to live?

How willing are you to do life’s chores?

Your will holds the golden key

To life’s treasures in its stores.
