Following Through.
By Buchan

Seems a lot of things are left undone. Wish we could all just get it all completed.

                          Nothing happens till you make it
                          Cake not complete till you bake it
                          Words like ice-cream melting away
                          Nothing done on a warm summers day
                          Lots seen ,little done,missing all the fun
                          Acting on real words, following through
                          Makes the world a  much better place
                          For little old me and sweet kind  you.

I loved your words, and they are so true. People are always ready to grumble, but if you set out to make the day "good", you can do it. And often making the day good starts with doing something good for others first.  
Note: warm summer's day. (apostrophe). Day of summer. ha ha. Read my poem about the apostrophe.
Enjoyed this

Hi Buchan 
 
Really enjoyed reading this. You've captured the meaning of what it is to be alive. Always start the day on a positive note, keep good thought, pass through goodness...all that positiveness keeps negativity at bay. 
 
The lines: 
Acting on real words, following through 
Makes the world a much better place 
 
Identifies that often we are driven by false imperatives, that for a fleeting moment seem to mean the earth, but really mean nothing at all.  
 
Although short, this poem and its complexity of the issues that it addresses is very beautiful, true and very deep... 
 
really well done... 
 
best wishes
