Walk not with arrogance and pride
be humble in your existence
seek not the free ride
do not give into their persistence
be awake to the wonders of the soul
seek out like minds
yearn to be whole
walk with confidence
be you
be what is in your heart
seek a true friend out
for they are very few
seek the understanding
of a troubled heart
let empathy not abandon you
let your dreams be strong and true
be not afraid of who you are
for it is you that you must please
not man or woman, friend or foe
in the end it is just you and your soul
let your colors shine through bright
sympathize with anothers plight
be slow to anger
and quick to forgive
nourish your mind
free your soul
fly with the eagles
be not afraid to grow old
learn from the past
be not afraid of the future
stand up for your beliefs
as long as it doesn't hurt your neighbor
and at the end of night
if you can look yourself in the eye
not even asking yourself why
no questions left
the day is done
you and your soul becoming one
no regrets
you've done your best
only than can you really rest...

A handful of people posssesing those traits in the right places could truly change the world. Very nice julie, you describe people with desirable traits so how about hmmmm,  "Optative Behaviours"

an excellent poem Julie, some great wisdom. Title how about "ideaolgy"

seek a true friend out
for they are very few
seek the understanding
of a troubled heart
let empathy not abandon you
let your dreams be strong and true
be not afraid of who you are
for it is you that you must please
not man or woman, friend or foe
in the end it is just you and your soul
let your colors shine through bright
sympathize with anothers plight
be slow to anger
and quick to forgive
nourish your mind
free your soul

Quite an impressive piece of poetry...How about "Soul Rest" or "May Your Soul Rest". James
