Reflections of Self-Love!

~ To love someone ~

I sit here and try to remember

another thought that's lost

from my mind,

A world sublime

only so many people left

still out to be kind

to read the words

from the good book

and try to adhere

to what it says in there

it makes the mind dizzy sometimes

as you try to find a way

to still get along in the world some way.

When you want no part of the hunger and greed

You get another paycheck

and read,

Ask yourself what to do

the numbers are a reflection of you.

As to how much you can do

win, lose, or draw

who is it that saw

the future that still awaits

as you try not to bite

the bait,

Debts up to your eyeballs

it's too late

another night

of going to be late

trying to understand

the point of it all.

Don't ever give up

Don't ever give in

to the life you're

trying to win;

so when they lay your body to rest

you'll have accomplished

something to have left behind

giving you that peace of mind,

Do unto others as others do unto you

set the records straight

it's never too late to define

the understanding differences

of each of our destiny's (fates)

and what it means

to you and me

to live for real

and no your deal

as the smile lays to rest

upon your face,

knowing you've won

another round in life,

as the world turns upside down

so now put the good book down

and smile

for knowing how good you are

Reward yourself,

with a piece of chocolate cake,

Tonight you've won

the joy in knowing who you've become

To love someone!
