L Milton Hankins Poet Triolet

'to Find Yourself'

Socrates* once wisely remarked,
“To find yourself, think for yourself,”
For me, his meaningful words sparked
Socrates once wisely remarked.
With this maxim, my life embarked,
I took his wise words off the shelf.
Socrates once wisely remarked
“To find yourself, think for yourself.”

[*nod to the great Greek philosopher]
