NO END UNDO AND DO

Ken Bartlett 1934 (Leominsterr Mass)



NO END

Without a beginning, there is no end.
With no letter written there is nothing to send.
If nothing is started, there is nothing to stop.
If there is no money, there is no reason to shop.




 UNDO AND DO

When you do something bad, you make someone sad.
Helping a neighbor with a favor can make someone glad.
When your love is expressed with no attached condition;
The joy and bliss returned require no other recognition.
