A Philosophy of Life
Love
Can love be
measured by quantity?
How much? How
deep, by quality?
Maybe it should
not be compared
Let our
emotions be widely shared
Human life is
short and hard
Enjoy
experience. Don’t discard
loved ones just
for personal gain
causing not
just physical pain
For doubters of
love, the right response
Honi Soit qui
mal y pense
Hate
An emotion,
just a human crime
For which we
should not waste our time
Respect
For those not
what you might expect
Show concern,
show respect
Treat those
that differ with understanding
Their deck of
cards needs careful handling
But to be
respected, I have learned
That is a feat
that must be earned.
Opportunity
When you find
your own sure way
Carpe diem,
seize the day
My choice of
how I should behave
Be no one’s
master, no one’s slave
