Do you pretend or do you attend?

" Thank you very much! Will attend to it shortly ".

Those powerful, committed words, they got me thinking.
Leaving me delightfully, blinking.
My own thoughts they got to linking,
Raising my spirits and stopping the sinking.
Spurring me to pen this ode,
Within the confines of my distant abode,
As an on the spot! writing, a kind of a loving code,
I am today,in the now, for posterity...inking.


As, the originator of them words, never pretends.
Always attends.
With deserving grace, pace and above all: a rare promptitude.
Both in noisy environs and in solitude.
As an ingrained attitude.
To me, and to the multitude.

As I thought I refused to be bought,
That all of us are also so tight and timely taut,
Though we are and were too, taught,
We allowed that trait to kind of rot,
As we lived our lives, selfishly, all the while, on the trot.

I thought through and questioned,
Are such traits self-controlled or are they, destined.

Questioningly I probed:

How many of us attend to our tasks and chores with promptitude?
As an attitude.

How many of us walk that extra miles to do so, for others?
For ourselves and for the multitude.

How many of us keep others' interests over our own?
Both in noisy environs and in solitude.

How many of us habitually,subscribe to the popular slogan " Just do it."
With deserving grace, pace and above all: a rare promptitude.

Do it! now!
And beat it.
Be done with it.

How?

By following the heart and not the herd of thoughts, within us.
By prioritizing and planning these very thoughts, to begin with.
By seeking and peeking into our own conscience and respecting time.
Our own, and others' as well.
All the while.

By not procrastinating as a habit.
By not being the tortoise here, but by being the rabbit.

As tomorrow never comes.
It is the 'now' that always beckons and welcomes.
In order to make others' life, akin to heaven.
Our own too, peaceful and purposefully, driven.
As caring humans, to habitually do so, we need to be attentive: 24*7.


Attentive to:

Time; to ensure we reduce the grind,mind the mind and flawlessly;sail.
Detail; to ensure that our efforts seldom fail.
Colour; to present the outcome always bright, and seldom pale.
Cause; to ensure we serve both; the sardines and the whale.
Care;to ensure fair wear and tear and not to ever, ensnare!

With a deep sense of commitment.
To sustain and spread: excitement.
To ring in enlightenment.
To avoid omittment.
To release pressure and stress.
And not to impress.

To spread love.
Through the pristine wings of the iconic; dove.
To expand peace.
To help release.
Thoughts...those that originate from yet another heart.
Located miles and miles apart.

Only through this rare trait and art of tending and attending.
And never pretending.
Only by inculcating and extending, devout: Attention.
Without any bias, prejudicial leanings, and apprehension.
