I have no need for platitudes
just an attitude of gratitude
Everything that is behind me
and all that surrounds me
has it unique purpose
though not always visible upon the surface
it is there regardless
and believing without seeing is the hardest
but faith has its rewards
always something i work towards
though it's hard to let down my guard
and expose my tender heart
i will try my best to surrender
and abandon my personal agenda
no enemies or friends in this lifetime
only teachers of mine
every curse is a blessing in disguise
every loss is a gain in my eyes
and all the love i give, i strive to give for free
as i learn to love myself and others unconditionally
