Frances is a poet!

Here are two poems written by Frances Coley.

"Following are some thoughts on the understanding of one indiividual as to the meaning of:

1) PURITY OF MOTIVE.

By "Purity of Motive", do you wonder what is meant?
To me, it means most nearly, "Honesty of intent;"
Did I mean it when I said it, Did I do it from my heart,
And not have some hidden purpose that I later do impart.
Purity of motive is serving in every way I can.
Without seeking something back from any other man.
Neither "thanks," nor reward, no return should be sought
Or the service is not "given" and truly comes to naught.

F.E.Coley

2) RADIANCE OF SPIRIT

Troubles build character; polish up the heart
To be radiant of spirit is mankind's part,
Mankind's cheerful humble submission
Of his will to God's Will,
No matter what the condition
Radiance of spirit can be demonstrated
By treating problems lightly, as if understated,
By taking time to chant or quietly read a prayer
Then feel the weight of troubles lift, layer by layer.
Being happy and content will create an inner glow
And the RADIANCE of SPIRIT will shine, and gleam, and glow!"

F.E.Coley
