THE WATCHER

THE WATCHER

.

.


Nobody knows what you do in private


Nobody knows what I do either


When the worm is picked up from the hot sidewalk


And placed in the cool damp shade


When the food wrapper is wadded up and placed in a pocket


Until a trash recepticle is found


When the apple that has fallen from the pile in the grocery store


Is picked up and placed back on the pile


When the door is held open, the shopper with two items let in line first


These are private moments .... yet


Someone is always watching


Someone knows exactly what you do and what is in your heart


Someone who judges every private act and develops an opinion 


On your integrity and honor


That Someone is you


So, catch yourself doing something right


Notice how well you handled a situation


Think of the trouble you could have caused but didn't.


See how important your smallest acts are in forming an identity.
