Poem
Reflecting on my life A lifetime of lessons learnt along the way Some harder than others Still learning to this day I have learnt the importance of kindness The power it truly holds Just a small act of kindness Positive changes will enfold I have learnt the importance of loved ones The true meaning of loving unconditionally To cherish the ones who surround me Enjoying time together making special memories I have learnt the importance of using my voice To share my positive thoughts Never keeping the positives silent Life is here then gone and “Yes …..way too short” I have learnt the importance of not “stressing the small stuff” As its significance in the big picture is nil Only concerning myself with matters that warrant worry As worry and stress can make you ill…..or worse kill ! I have learnt the importance of humility Honesty, integrity, respect, worth Applying them as best l can While l walk this precious earth I have learnt the importance of differences Of acceptance and equality Try to not to judge or criticise To the best of my ability I have learnt the importance of gratitude To appreciate life and all it beholds To savour precious moments and times Life goes by so fast and before you know it you are old! I have learnt what is most important “to me” What “ I” value most on earth For me “It is loving others and being loved” Being happy and appreciating life’s worth Life is definitely an ongoing work in progress Life lessons are not always easy to maintain We often face hurdles and hardships Where we use learnt lessons and begin to learn new ones again!
