I sit down
and gaze around
at all that is a blessing,
though, often, second guessing,
I feel things are good,
and will turn out as they should.
Something gives each of us a hard time,
love knows, most things don't change on a dime.
Seeking the goal of good things, daily
eventually, your efforts, won't be failing.
No one said life is always easy,
nice, sweet, or breezy.
Reduce stress, try to relax.
Give yourself time to think about the facts.
With your mind set on truth,
it won't take long to find proof,
that 'the truth will set you free,'
opening your eyes to clearly see,
truth is the key
in becoming who we need to be.
Ourselves, we can't outsmart.
We can never lie to our own heart.
No exceptions, we know what we've done.
to ourselves, like a river, the truth must run.
Your word is your bond.
It means everything, and beyond.
We must stay strong
to steer away from wrong.
It's ok to be friendly, but be gaurded,
not every smile is kind hearted.
The world, isn't always nice.
Quite the opposite, it can be cold as ice.
The past is lost in yesterday,
forever, it has gone away.
Memories are simply thoughts,
images, of a true story, caught.
To them, you are not bound,
nor, in any way, tied down.
We are free to change
our thoughts, to arrange
them in order of matter,
allowing the petty things to be scattered.
