While nature works in valiancy It presents us with an analogy That in the frame of life's design There are virtues well defined
---Along my way I've found---
Noble intentions are never in vain That sometimes there is no one to blame Nothing is meant to last forever And personal growth should be our endeavor
Idealism is embraced spiritually And disappointment comes realistically That we only fail when we fail to try And often silence is our best reply
Success is not measured tangibly And our best acts are done anonymously That hope and faith go hand-in-hand That love isn't given by supply and demand
That forgiveness sets the wounded free Each truth is found individually There are too many battles to fight them all Even our heroes sometimes fall.
Let failure serve to help you learn Keep wisdom as your main concern Never take yourself too seriously Expect that change comes inevitably
Integrity is what's done in solitude Character predicts how others are viewed Never mistake as weak one who's kind Value your elders, they're perennial as time
Above all be true to that you hold dear Go forward unfettered by doubt and fear Rise above the evils of those who hate Realize life's value before it's too late

Thank you everyone who commented! I worked hard on this one while trying to collect my thoughts. Remembering all my "truths" wasn't difficult, but putting them in a poem of any quality proved a challenge.
Your words encourage, enlighten and uplift. Thanks again!
