If for your past they’re judging you,
Know they’ve no clue what’s really true.
They weren’t there to see your toil
As you cultivated inner soil.
They didn’t see you plant the seeds
Of healing thoughts and words and deeds.
They didn’t share in your shed tears
When looking back at wasted years.
They’ve no idea how much you’ve grown.
Let that be what you know and own.
If they can’t love what you’ve become,
Don’t let those fools be bothersome.

Grow
We say we’d change it
If we could go back in time.
But how would we grow?
Find
Only when we are lost
To who we have always been
Do we find ourselves.
Equanimity
Water rises, then it falls.
Sometimes, it races, then it crawls.
Yet on it flows, e’er giving life,
Absent woes with which we’re rife.
How much simpler would it be
To live such equanimity.
Path to Change
Accept what exists.
It’s only when we do this
That good change can come.
You
You make me want to be better.
I never used to think of forever.
But one look at our life together,
You’ll find the “rules” come untethered
And so do I.
Cost
To meet hate with love
Is quite a costly affair
But necessary
