I do not know the ways of Life from birth been shown violence and strife a mothers embrace was I rarely shown childhood affection have I not known At age of three from family outcast neglect and hazards uncertainty my past from even those who attempted to care I was prevented from being their share Been a difficult road since I was a child to comprehend nature that's tender and mild the one who with joy greets you each day who shows you life's wonders in every way Been a slave to the mean and the cruel where retaliation is an everyday tool looking for punishment and never for peace from your mistakes are never released What surprises most in the places I've dwelt those who use truth like a leather belt the book is addressed to you and your brother decisions for life made by you not another I place before you this day life and death unceasing wonders or that which takes your breath but you are the only one who can choose to love your brother the ways of death lose From men expect duplications of past where religions are formed his desires unmask if you use men as your standard of measure only one man had its fullness of treasure There is only one standard only one true the fullness of Love you must learn to do I am the you addressed in the book I am the one for its meanings must look I must apply its sayings to me set the example in everyway be those who needed his comfort for whom he cared demonstrated a love no others had dared Mankind as a book one he only could read see his intentions and what was his need knew how to lift them water the seed to develop his justice eliminate greed It's difficult for man to learn how to wait takes time to learn love get rid of hate even in this my frustrations well known I want it all instantly the lessons unshown I know it's me you're trying to teach I know it's me you're trying to reach I'm difficult stubborn from men shut my ears from cruel reverberations one everyday hears It takes time to digest where thoughts run deep to assimilate its message its directions keep apply every learning with consummate skill where all of its quality our hearts do fill So again I do share a small reflection considerations of Life to good its subjection one hopes the aim for the target to mark can be no achievement without standards to hark COPYRIGHT © 2012 C Michael Miller Via Duboff Law Group LLC
