If you only see what is right in front of you, choppy, stormy seas
Might be all you would see. If you look to far to the future;
Golden, dreaming skies might be all you spy. In between,
Is where you should be, riding the waves of reality in
The Here, the Now. The trick is to find the balance.
Filling your life with the hope of a golden future,
While being grounded in the experiences of
The stormy Past, allow you to see the
Exquisite beauty, the perfection in
The world as it is, and in yourself.
You are beautiful, as you are.
