When Duty Calls

Do it, you know it makes sense...

When Duty Calls

 

When duty calls be there

When love calls obey

No questions asked

Just do it

Like there may be no tomorrow

Like there were no yesterdays...

Author's Note

Don't be gentle, don't be kind, say it like you mean it....

Wisdom in this short poem, which conveys a message. Don't put off until tomorrow what you should be doing today. Tomorrow may never come. Fine words.

Lol I can't not be kind with You :)

Yes, and Yes!, then Yes and Yes, and again Yes and Yes! to each of Your lines, what I like about this little piece is You gathering work and love together, without our work our life is meaningless, just a void... without love our hearts and souls would be like that too.

Thank You for sharing Your thoughts with us.

[Neville]

My word, that's a lot of yes'es bless you dear friend.....Neville

Duty and necessity need a response, before it's too late. Yesterday survived.
You have penned a good lesson here against procrastination, which seems to be the vogue these days.

Tis the vogue without doubt, cheers my friend...N

wow i agree with the last line if only the present counts, no yesterdays then perhaps no pain to be faced how lucky it will be for most of us.

[Neville]

That is certainly one way of looking at it my dear friend, but what promise tomorrow may hold, maybe...........N
