Be honest with yourself.
Be honest til it hurts.
Be honest til it works.
And if he can’t live with your truth,
Put him on a T-shirt.
“Rest In Peace”
To the name on the dotted line.
..................
Never allow your infatuations
Get in the way
Of your peace of mind.
Cute faces
And
Great conversations
Come and go.
Give them
Their standing ovations
But,
Holdfast to your soul.
Hold on
To the things
That make you
You
Even if you never find a mountain
Gentle enough to move.
There’s more than one way
To get
To the other side.
And there’s more than
One side to reach.
So,
Never lose sleep
Over the loss of attention
Of those
Who never stood a chance
Of recognizing certain dimensions
Staring back at you
When you look in the mirror.
Schools of fish are nice
But,
There is so much more
To the river.
