Being Human

Be kind to yourself and you will be kind to others Everyone has flaws, being yourself is what makes you perfect If you learn to live in the moment the past won't rob your future Now is the very best time to live in the moment Give more then you take and you will always have enough Honour those special people in your life who truly love you Understanding them only happens when you take time to listen Memorable moments are formed when we come together Anyone who laughs and smiles will be surrounded by friends Nine out of ten times difficulties can be overcome with humour To late for the contest.
