Do Unto Others
May I be more willing to help others...
when I myself have asked for help.
May I learn to be more accepting...
as I myself seek acceptance.
May I learn to trust others...
as I want to be trusted myself.
May I learn to be more forgiving...
because at times I too need forgiveness.
May I realize I need to be more patient with others...
as I ask others to have patience with me.
May I learn how important it is to compliment others...
hoping to boost their self-esteem...
as I too like to feel good about myself.
May I try to be a friend to others...
as I too have had moments of lonliness.
May I try and be understanding of others fears...
even if they seem silly to me...
because perhaps the things I fear, seem silly to others.
May I show others respect...
as I too would like to be respected.
May I do more to show others I appreciate them...
as it also feels good to me to be appreciated by others.
May I learn to take responsibility for my actions...
as others are not responsible for my choices.
P.R. Deremer
