There are only two reasons to be.
That, that you are, or that, that you may become.
Those who chose to be, are.
Those who chose to become something else,
have the future to look forward to.
So be that, that you are,
or become that, that you can.
Look to the past and regret,
or look to the future and become.
Dream those dreams that will bring happiness.
Look to what the future holds,
waiting for you to unlock the secrets of life.
Share those secrets with the ones who are still looking.
Help those who can't see the difference,
between the future and the past.
Understand that, Not all who look will see,
Not all who see will understand,
Not all who understand,
will know what to do with the knowledge.
Those who do will be remembered.

I appreciated your write, dear Tracey. God showers such immense gifts over His children and to share them is our mission, a mission of LOVE.

Love,
Margherita

I enjoyed this poem and the message it sends very much. Thank you for sharing it.
It reminds me of something I read in the Tao Te Ching.. I'm not sure if it relates, but none the less it stuck out all of a sudden so I will share;
"He who preaches does not understand. He who understands does not preach"
Take it as you will

Thanks again.

It's not easy being evil, in a world gone to hell.
