Real people LOVE! Real people are LOYAL!
Not there just for fun, or for someone to spoil!
Their serious thoughts are deep and sincere,
Beautiful ideas, reach heights, free from fear!
No doubts, about what is right or wrong,
Following the beat, of their mind and heart's song,
Facing TRUTH, no matter what they find,
Strong and courageous, all of the time!
Not just for now...but, forever and ever,
Not willing to be, with "fakes" who are "clever"!
They stand by the people, who are sincere and just,
Walking away from trouble, is always a "must"!
It's not always "popular"....but, I soon realize,
That those less sincere, find TRUTH's a "surprise"!
They cannot be LOYAL, for the only LOVE they feel,
Is for themselves and they aren't even REAL!
Deep inside, each cold, indifferent heart,
There lies a very huge, black, question mark!
They never can feel, someone's deep, dark pain,
They just ignore it, again and again!
Do not feel joyfulness, about good deeds or beauty,
Live mediocre lives, free from LOVE or DUTY!
Are quite content, to just exist or depend,
I'm grateful, that all aren't the same as them!
They miss so much....on such a narrow, selfish plane,
Too many missed opportunities...to even name!
I know, that LOVE, LOYALTY and TRUTH are best,
Hopefully, I can strive to pass this personal test!

At an early age, my father said,"Your word, or a handshake, is just
as
good as any legal document." He also stated, "Choose your companions
wisely, if you want to take charge, of the direction of your life."
If I
did choose a friend, who seemed to be not up to my father's expectations,
he would state, "Birds of a feather flock together."
I now realize, that these wise words were true. In order to allow our
personalities to blossom, we need to take control and not waste the
few
precious years we have, on inappropriate paths to destruction. Each
idea
and decision marks the course....and once we get off this course, it
is
very difficult to get back on. We cannot go back and redo....or even
delete....because what has been done....remains as a part of our
lives....forever.
It takes a lot of courage, to ignore the negative, that is often presented
in delectable packages....and too often, we must make sacrifices, in
order
to follow our own dreams. Everyone is different....and this is the
way it
is supposed to be. How boring, if we were all clones....with the same
faces...interests...etc.
At times, we are tempted to throw in the towel and just go with the
flow....but, the price for popularity is just too high. So, we go on....in
our own unique way...each of us as One-of-a-Kind.....adding character,
to a
colourful landscape....and hopefully, all of us will be remembered,
for the
good and not the imperfections.
