As You Have Finally Accepted Yourself And Loved It Too.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

the dignity of the lion
the bravery of the tiger
the meekness of the dove
the agility of the mouse
the silence of the cat
the swiftness of the eagle
the lightness of the butterfly
and so many others whose
goodness we have not so well
considered, because we are
so centered with our own,

choose the good part, disregard
the bad, take them, and then
learn extreme tolerance, and
finally you will love them all
as you have finally accepted
yourself and loved it too....
