It has taken me time to get to here,
a journey of pieces, fragments I grasp;
I have climbed up life's mountain- every tier !
Good morals, values and wisdom - I clasp,
I now have perception of who I am;
all bad negativity I unclasp !
Oh, I dislike deception and flimflam,
and my philosophy is to stay calm;
I stay with my doctrines and my program !
Truth, patience and composure is my balm,
I was brought up to know the right from wrong;
there are times when stressed that I read a psalm !
I find this way of living makes me strong,
my beliefs are simple- love everyone;
peace, love and harmony is my life song !
Don't want my life to be a hit-and-run,
I, often refine perception- insight
no wish for my life to be a rerun !
When I fall, fail I stay always polite;
and will clear my mind to look for the light !
