1998 Series - February #1

 I.
life is not easier
as you grow older,
it becomes harder
because it is filled
with attachments
and appraisals
of self-worth...  and
the stress that it creates
is what shortens our lives
and ruins our relationship
and makes us bitter
towards our fellow man...
life offers us other
examples of how
we must live,
learning to accept others
and their opinions,
behaving in a way that
is deemed necessary
because it puts us all
on the same path
with not who is right
and who is wrong but
with accepting life the
way it is supposed to be.

II.
we earn our way
as we go,
paying for this...
saying that...
ignoring what does
not seem to agree
or does not fit
with our appetites...
and who knows
all that we have missed,
but it takes courage
to admit we were wrong,
and it takes salvation
and inner peace
and a desire to know
that all you do is
not for you but because
it was meant to be.
