In this busy world and all its noise 

I often find myself feeling overwrought 

And though I try my best to stay poised 

I sometimes feel like I’m coming up short 

It’s in these moments that I must remind 

Myself to be gentle and kind to me 

To take a step back and not be confined 

By the standards that I should be 

For I am human, with flaws and mistakes 

And that’s okay. It’s just a part of life 

So, instead of dwelling on what I can’t make 

I’ll focus on the beauty and joy that’s rife 

And in this way, I’ll be kind and gentle 

To myself and to others. Indeed it’s fundamental! 

Blessings and Love!
