Notes About The Poem

Inner Alignment

it’s the mission of our lifetime
to learn to balance heart and mind
to recognize and be grateful
for our numerous blessings
as we covet lofty dreams

in our heart we want to nurture gratitude
and be satisfied with our lot in life
yet aim to stretch beyond our aspirations

we seek to be happy with what we have
but in our mind give utmost efforts
to surpass our limitations

whatever our struggles
cultivate harmony 
as we aim to live in the moment
be joyful in the now
come what may tomorrow
