I’m at an age
where I’ve gone through
so much (that is not all good)
so many people
have disappointed me
i don’t blame them
they are human
aren’t they?
and humans are this way–
they make mistakes,
some are greedy
some are out
only for themselves
they just
don’t
know —
as years pass by
their lives & values will change
i used to be self-centered
i am becoming (or am)
a recluse (or a hermit) now
wanting to be alone
& often not answering my phone ///
While you, my friend, are still young
my
advice is
be kind to others
love all people
overlook other’s faults
expect nothing in return / / /
if you have read this far
i send you my blessings
and prayers
that you will
have a beautiful life
& God will guide you
in your perfect life’s path
