"Getting Better"
...tolerance...
by Barbara Tremblay Cipak, Copyrighted
Hold my hand
then judge me
Or better
Feel my sameness,
Look me in the eye
then tell me I don't matter
Or better
See I am you,
Sit at my dinner table
Sharing food and conversation
then tell me I'm not worthy
Or better
Understand my hunger is like yours,
Take a walk with me
then hate where I live
Or better
Understand my plight,
Watch my children play
and tell me they are expendable
Or better
Love them as your own,
As I hold your hand
Look in your eyes
Eat at your table
Walk with you
Understand your plight
And watch your children play,
I know I want to be better too
"Getting Better and Better"
I can't judge youI'm too busy judging myself
I can't hate you
I'm too busy learning about myself
I can't envy you
I'm too busy competing with myself
I can't expect anything from you
I'm too busy expecting the best from myself
I can love you
By loving myself

Poems For All Your Emotions
Getting Better and Better and Better
Perspective
Getting Better and Better and Better
What do you want me to know about you
I'm interested in your life
You're journey is my teacher
I'm wrong about so much
How can I make your day better
Show me what I can do
I am a willing spirit

Credit Where Credit is Due
Eventhough, in many cases, it isn't necessary to indicate where a photo, or a piece of art, was acquired, because it's "free stock", I still like to credit the artist.
As a Poet and Lyricist, I feel that's the least I can do.
So below are links from Art or other items on this page that don't have a link directly beside it.

- The picture of the earth with the hands was provided by this individual's collection of free stock.

- The picture of the cat and dog (above) was provided by this person's collection of free photo stock.
