Knowing Is Sometimes Enough
Knowing one could have been a contender,
Is sometimes enough.
Knowing that the opportunity was given,
Is sometimes enough.
Knowing that it was yours to keep or to give away,
Is often enough.
Knowing the playing field was as even as was humanly possible,
Is often enough.
Knowing all the information given at the time was correct,
Is often enough.
Knowing there are opportunities elsewhere,
Is often enough.
Knowing one has the freedom to choose,
Is often enough.
Knowing all these things,
Is often enough to keep the green eyed-monster at bay.
Knowing all these things,
Is always enough to look back without anger.
Knowing all these things,
Is always enough to widen your circle.
Knowing all these things,
Is always enough for you, to perform kindly acts.
Knowing all these things,
Is always enough to tell you, who you are.
Knowing all these things,
Is always enough for you to act kindly to others,
who are not there yet.
Knowing all these things,
Is always enough for you to spread the word.
