My Spiritual Tree

To be a better man is what i strive for,
Growing spiritually to the sky from the cold floor,

Opening up every door,
Letting the ones close from before,

Finding myself until im where i want to be,
Surpassing my past self is my one need,

Running through like a 1 man stampede,
Strengthening the roots of my spiritual tree,

I will grow to be a better man,
The only way that i can,

Focusing on my positives and leaving my woas behind,
Maintaining that feeling in which is so divine,

Raising my awarness and passing through time,
Letting my beautiful soul flourish and shine.

Im letting go of the habits holding me down,
Letting go of the things that made me frown,

Wont stop until i get there,
For myself and other ill take care,

Ill be better, not just for them but for me,
Until i become that dependable spiritual tree,

That can guide others and help them grow,
Letting them depend on me so they will know,

They dont have to stay stuck in the past,
And help them grow spiritually very fast.
That is now my current task.

Hello Downed jester, so nice to meet you. You are right no one should be stuck in the past. Live for today, for yesterday is gone. Enjoy your evening my friend.

This is an honest, self-reflective, write, and very encouraging for myself to read, Downed Jester...spiritual self determination, propelled by deep reflection motivates to raise oneself up and get going as a Spiritual Man! Keep going, don't ever give up! Your " beautiful soul will flourish and shine" For sure! ~~AquaM~~
