I'M Learning How

Every day i'm learning how to walk a straighter mile, I've even found a want to greet a sadness with a smile. I have discovered inner strength, I know not i possessed, A quiet peace that flutters, Like a dove within my breast. I've learned what is reality and that it isn't smart to wear One's heart upon One's sleeve. I've learned to be more tolerant with other's and myself And that one cannot truly give, ...... Until one give's himself I'm learning to appreciate The days that hurry by, To be content and know that there Are none so rich as I. I've found my true vocation, What i was meant to do..... And when ;life mocks to smile, and say............ " I'm merely passing through!"
