Humbled I Am, Humbled I Be

 You never realize how Blessed you are until you learn to look at the world through unbiased eyes.

To realize that the love you share and the love you care is why you stand here this day

Step back from your usual self.

Look at the world through a strangers eyes. Experience their perception of life.

you shall see the true trials and tribulations of your fellow man.

All previous perceptions held will be forever lost into a meld.

Visions of the “new” visions you view will change the “old” views you viewed.

Who once you labeled as a “Street Urchin”, dirty as can be, your eyes will now to see the human in thee.

You will become humbled. To the max. Humbled by what life gave onto you.

A realistic understanding of what life truly entails. I have experienced this.

These past two years have changed my very core. The cancer battles. The spleen exploding and my bleeding out. The septic blood poisoning. The gall bladder. Jordan’s suicide.

I appreciate everything in my life like I never had before.

I see how precious all aspects of life are.

This I learned, first handed, from many conversation with my three beautiful nieces.

Further schooled in discussions with friends.

All interactions, no matter how insignificant you may think they be, are as precious as can be.

From the smile on a stranger’s face, to the love in your mate’s eyes, to the deeply seated love in a dogs eyes, to the warmth in your heart with babies first cry, these you realize are equal in value never to be lost in the shadows.

Waking each new morning will be the start of yet another wonderful journey.

The key to living life with purposeful meaning is to instinctively share your actions of caring, appreciations, honesty, loving, forgiving, realness and, most importantly, humbleness

Humbleness is the key to harmonious cohabitation.

You achieve this level of consciousness in your life by losing all falsehoods and staying true to your inner self.

First glance in morning’s mirror will reveal smiles not seen in awhile.

The rewards these past few years of life has gifted me shall forever assure a smile each day. Knowing all troubles soon leave. They can’t stay.

I now know that the past has been lost in the dust storms of days long gone.

Like lyrics of a country song, you remember the words but not the tune.

The past cannot be replayed. Best for life to leave it that way.

I now know that future’s mightiest rush is to hold your focus till dreams crush.

The future never does arrive. It plays with your anxious will to strive.

Once you have mastered living in the “now” you no longer have to ask “How?“

It’s happy hear in the now.

Laughter’s sweat upon your brow.

Each person you do meet makes Light shine upon the street.

Each conversation held in trust reminds your core of life’s lust.

Braggart and show-off never you be.

Copy not the ways of others. They were taught by their Mothers.

For when it comes to yourself not others, speak always truth with no subliminal utters.

Most important lesson I learned was that love and respect are not given, they’re earned.

Humbled I am.

And . …. Humbled I be.
