Poem Title:
Poem
The way you feel about me doesn't define me. You will not cause me to re-think my priorities or examine my virtues. You may love, like, hate or be neutral towards me, that is your prerogative. Of course I would prefer to be looked upon as good, inspiring, or any of the positive human characteristics we know of... but it's not essential to me if I am not. I respect your opinion either way. More importantly, I respect mine. In my eyes I AM worthy of love, friendship, forgiveness, empathy, understanding, praise, blessings, God's Love and love for myself and I can only hope for "genuine" to precede all of these words and their meaning. I understand that these things I need in my life, and they are also the essence of me, my gift to those who really know me and love me, who truly desire to be a part me, not just tolerate me or see an opportunity for achievement at my expense. I have come this far on a road paved of my blood, sweat and tears and the admission of my faults that made it so. Many lessons I learned were harsh but I managed to proceed in the right direction and it was I who suffered and bowed my head with shame and it was I who rose, anew, forgiving and forgiven, humbled and eager to forge ahead. And the few that were with me all the while, will forever be a part of me, we are one and I acknowledge I would not be where I am, who I am this day, without you. And I will always love you. It is my ambition and honor to give to you the same beautiful, selfless gift. I walk with God, in good company of those that chose to walk with me in this amazing life's journey. And that, is all I need to know as to what defines me, as a person, a blessed, cherished soul, grateful for every single moment.
