Focus On Love

From my mother, I've learned to savor the present, To be relaxed and at ease, To be kind and considerate to all those I meet, And to keep on multiplying, growing, and achieving. From my father, I've learned to dance with abandon, To let go and have fun, To let my joy show through in every step and move, And to keep on moving forward, no matter what. From my stepfather, I've learned the value of silence, To hold my tongue and listen more, To think before I speak, and choose my words carefully, And to let my actions speak louder than my words. From my grandmothers, I've learned the importance of hygiene, To keep myself clean and fresh, To take care of my body and mind, And to attract love and good fortune through self-care. From my sisters, I've learned to laugh with abandon, To find the humor in every situation, To be playful and light-hearted, And to stand up for those who need a voice. From my brothers, I've learned to find the humor in the past, To laugh at the mistakes and lessons learned, To not take life too seriously, And to move on from pain with a smile on my face. From my wife, I've learned to live in the moment, To be easy-going and stress-free, To be kind and compassionate to all, And to give thanks for every blessing in my life. From my ex-girlfriends, I've learned to trust my instincts, To listen to my inner voice and pay attention to my dreams, To be aware of any red flags or warning signs, And to follow my heart and intuition. From my friends, I've learned to be supportive and encouraging, To uplift and celebrate the women in my life, To be genuine and sincere in my compliments, And to appreciate the beauty and strength of others. From my children, I've learned the power of forgiveness, To let go of grudges and move on, To focus on love and understanding, And to prioritize relationships and connection above all else.
