THE MAN WITH THE TOOLS

THE TOOL MAN

Time to salute the man with the tools, always so welcome, always so cool,

Tools gently swing from his belt carry-on, soon problems are fixed and he will be gone.

We stop to consider our own kitchen tools, recipes, guidelines, as we keep working rules.

Our thoughts move along to our own inner life, guidelines we need to avoid stress and strife.

New visions take shape, forgiveness and love, told by the saints now in heaven above.

Belief with the heart is the first step to take, the tool of decision – a great working mate.

Headlights will guide through the darkness of night, as we learn every moment more of love’s guiding light.

Practicing, growing as pathways showed change that needed a search of our whole vision range.

By avoiding all judgments, resentments and fears, taking care need not ruin our tools through the years.

The tool of the will may need sharpening again, making effective the need of a change.

Each experience brings lessons, like the man with the tools, who used them as well while learning life’s rules.

Applying these lessons is the secret life, reducing contentions that lead to all strife.
