MY APPRECIATION OF LIFE
My life, is my own art form and it’s my own creation constantly in the making.
Although a culmination of errors, it was designed from moment to moment.
Every intention, was meant to be subsequently different.
Life has taught me a most powerful lesson.
Hold the people I meet, with the up-most discretion.
Understanding the principles, has caused me misconceptions.
Realization has set in, to keep me well protected.
In the most profound ways, I hold no one but myself to blame.
It was therefore wise for me, to be extremely concerned about being lament.
For all of my actions and my unhealthy attractions.
As I sort out all of my intentions, I can now produce effects and hold my self-respect.
My whole life has been a dream and I have been waiting to wake up.
It cannot be measured in an hour glass and certainly not in a cup.
I know now, for sure, no matter what my situation
I will value my life with the highest appreciation.
