While in Primary
we learn to give
standard answers
we should all live.
Our replies we share
we never outgrow.
Soon we can see that
we already know.
Whenever asked,
the response does come
so often the same
we roll our eyes some.
We know what to say
and the answers come quick.
But when we leave class
do the answers actually stick?
There’s a difference
between knowing the reply
and living the answer
because we understand the why.
Knowing the answers
is important it’s true.
But we must also
not forget the do!

It’s true, we can all ‘know’ those answers, but living them is another thing entirely. At least anyone struggling with this, will know they are not alone – it’s a common problem,most of humanity suffers from it! 😉
Not only that but we get tired of the same answers and want different ones. More elaborate ones I suppose. When it all comes down to the basics. There’s a reason we learn them in primary 🙂
