APRIL is Poetry Month
To be caring, to be loving;
To be giving, to be kind;
To be understanding, to be considerate;
To be loyal, to be trustworthy;
To be appreciative, to be grateful;
To be true, to be sincere;
To be honest, to be truthful;
To be doting, to be encouraging;
To be inspiring, to be forgiving;
To be humble, to be patient;
To be creative, to be diligent;
To be crazy, to be zany
To be mad, to be happy
To serve, to help, to do things without being told.
Is there a simple smile
And a genuine heart
Cannot do?
Trying not to be wanting
For worldly caprices and whims
Nor taking obsession with matters
That matter less to me.
I have dreams and wishes
But they're not much of a goal
Other than those I hope --
For myself to be -
With imperfections and flaws
I posses;
I rue not whatever things
I fail to do.
Because I have embraced
The real person in me.
