Above all be Yourself

Take fortitude to change the situations you can.

That you cannot change, will be in transition.

While the passing of time, sweeps the change to you.

 

Remember freedom can be a  prison.

For liberty without love, is a prison without bars.

And the heart is misplaced, is in a sea of confusion.

 

Allow no one to chain your thoughts, actions or deeds.

You cannot live your life in a world, that perpetually stands still.

Nor can that life be lived through the eyes your children, it’s your life!!.

 

Take solace for a time in words that warm your soul.

Then when your soul is impassioned, open the door, and face your darkness.

For you will see that there is light in that darkness.

 

Let your ears be the gateway to your wisdom

And  your eyes should be the  conscience, of your compassion.

For to feel mercy, makes you humble in the eyes of your god.

 

Never allow yourself to be led, always take your own path.

Your opinions and views are just as relevant as others.

Understanding , compassion, and humanity, are your tools.

And life is your occupation
