Something to think about...

I discovered this 'anonymous' poem today... it made me think. A Builder or a Wrecker - which will I be?

Builders

I saw them tearing a building down, A gang of men in a busy town.

With a yo heave ho and a lusty yell, They swung a beam and the sidewall fell.

I asked the foreman if these men were As skilled as those he would hire if he were to build.

He laughed and said, "Oh, no indeed, Common labor is all I need.

For they can wreck in a day or two, What builders have taken years to do."

So I asked myself, as I went my way, Which of these roles am I to play?

Am I the builder, who works with care, Measuring life by the rule and square;

Or am I the wrecker who walks the town, Content in the role of tearing down?
