-No Airs and Graces

No pretence
No airs and graces
Just be real
No “two faces”

Be authentic 
Just be You
Let your true spirit shine through

Your fairness, honesty
Integrity will show
Kindness to all
Compassion, goodness will flow

Don’t fear vulnerability 
Or to admit you were wrong
It does not create weakness
It enlightens, renders you strong

Let your humour be present
Smile and laugh each day
Don’t take life to seriously
Don’t waste it away  

Feel inner peace ….without turmoil
Like and love You
Appreciate and value all life offers
But mostly “to yourself be true”
