In my actions I try to write in such a way that
others love to read me and I try to listen in
such a way that others  love to speak to me
so learn that your actions are your only true
belongings and the more that you are motivated
by love the more fearless and free your actions
will be and know the the only real action takes
place on the bridge between people.

We all want our lives to matter and our lives to
make a difference so welcome every day that
you wake up with a smile because today will
never happen again and don't waste it as you
walk through your life going from room by
room drawing up a list of work to be done,
cracks to be patched and don't look for flaws
but look for potential.

Sometimes in our lives when we just get used
to something it fades away so don't allow
waiting to become a habit and live your dreams
and take risks because life is happening now
and every step forward begins with a firmly
planted foot in the past and if it doesn't challenge
you it won't change you so know that the past
cannot be changed, forgotten, edited, or erased,
it can only be accepted.

Don't try relentlessly to understand because time
will decide and your joy will come when it is time
and every single change you have made and every
action you have taken has brought you to this
exact moment of reading my poetry,so have a
good day.                                                   Jon York    2015
