Marilene Evans Poet Grook

Notes About The Poem

G Forms - Grook Poetry Contest

2. Life

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

stop wasting time

too much time wasted on …
comparing, complaining, criticizing
listening to others’ opinions of you
thinking some people do not like you
life is too short to waste time!
spend time on …
thanking, appreciating what you have
ignoring others’ opinions of you
accepting not everyone will like you 
knowing yourself, strengths and imperfections
