Holistic

HOLISTIC
 
To learn tolerance and with it abide,
To select in whom to confide,

To share, to protect and to love,
And to pray, for strength from above.

To mellow with time as a treasured wine,
To forget and accept, and never regret,

To try to forgive and never to hate,
And to learn about life before it’s too late.

I have taken it in, acknowledged and will live life to the fullest! Thank you Jennifer.

Arturo Michael Date: 10/29/2018 12:30:00 AM Very important lessons indeed...Nicely put in poem...All the best JP Login to Reply Jennifer Proxenos Date: 10/29/2018 1:50:00 AM You are so right Alturo! A lot of this is self discipline, which is sometimes hard to apply to ourselves. The forgiving one can do, but forgetting takes time, if ever we can. Kindest regards, Jennifer.
