I enjoy skating though
I prefer ice over
Rolling I think that
It’s the winter padding
Because I confidently know
That down I will
Go and up I
Will try but more
Down I will go
Dating is like that
Success only ever happens
When either someone helps
You up or you
Simply crawl to the
Side laughing and admitting
This isn’t for me
The most important thing
Is to never ever
Forget humility with grace
None of us are
Better than the other
Each of us is
Greater than someone else
In some way that’s
What makes humanity beautiful
We work together sharing
Our strengths and not
On capitalizing on weaknesses
Turn to someone today
And say that they
Are great and see
What happens humility with
Grace will spring forth
I promise you that
What I do know
About love is that
Love is the fabric
Of the Universe and
That each time that
You love someone else
You are picking up
Another thread with which
To weave your life
Don’t waste your life
Pursuing fame for immortality
Resides in the hearts
And minds of those
Who will survive you
Be the talk of
The campfire be the
Story and laughter at
The holiday bring joy
To others now it’ll
Still be there long
After you are gone
Back to my knees
Lord where art thou
Here in my darkness
I implored the Heavens
To relieve me from
Despair have my sins
Prompted such turmoil have
I not been noticed
For my kindness nor
My love for others
Where are You
And then God said
I am the bottom
Upon which you have
Fallen which you kneel
Consider this do not
Sprouts spring from below
Do not trees rise
From the forest floor
Do not clouds gather
Rain from the oceans
Does not absolutely everything
Begin from where you
Find yourself to be
Now my dear boy
Start from here and
Be on your way
Just like everything else
