More Human

Pondering over my difficult past
I was searching for something that lasts
It took me in every direction
From outward acts to introspection.

I looked in the mirror one day
And never saw myself this way,
There I was with all my faults and querks
And sometimes being a total jerk.

I just did not like what I saw or felt
For a moment my ego began to melt
And I was left with the truth to see
my contempt for the real me.

So I set out to change the constant throng
Things I knew in my heart were wrong
And I did, the truth be known
Like a single seed was sown.

My faith as in a tiny mustard seed.
That grew into a magnificent tree
Moved me ever forward toward
Better actions, deeds and word.

If you look real hard at the tree
A dead branch or knot you might see.
But you wil see a better man
Ever moving toward more human.

Keep the faith my friend it's what gets us through those trying times. Great article Robert.
