Don't forget to thank someone/something for another day,
If you're so inclined, take the time to pray,
While there, say something for your kin,
think on them no matter where you go or where you've been.
Catch the rays of a morning's Sun,
don't forget where you're from,
but don't dwell on your mottled past,
stay strong and tough as tough times don't last.
Do your business like you love your friends,
you'll prosper honestly as you make your "ends",
integrity and vigilance in equus court,
control your anger, keep your vengeance short.
Live life joyous and learn to have fun,
laugh in abundance for when trouble comes,
a life filled with joy can ease any pain,
and the good times gathered will surely sustain.
Take time for yourself whenever you can,
travel and marvel at this beautiful land,
read and seek knowledge for it is the key,
to fulfilling the purpose of your destiny.
Pursue varied interests and spend time with your friends,
try something once...if you survive it try it again,
give to those around you with less than you have,
make charity and kindness self-perpetuating acts.
Lastly, love from the bottomless well of your heart,
make your love feel embraced even when you're apart,
be romantic and creative so the ties, they may bind,
these are the things of importance in life.
this is a most wonderful poem. it seems to know me in my heart and soul.. thank you for sharing a beautiful part of you. becky
