Richard Lamoureux Poet Acrostic

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.
