Be These Things

We break everyday Every day,we make mistakes Ask for forgiveness Or hide the mistakes away. But hide them away, And what do we gain? You lose. But be better, We are not old dogs No one logs the wrong we do But continue and all the wrong Will define you. So in the midst of guilt and lies Choose to quit. Let respect and honesty thrive Through your life. Let stress and anger die. For one cannot live While the other survives. Truth is so great. Truth is trust and love Lust is sick, And lies are games of luck. But be truthful and gain A love you may never have known Be humble and you will be seen. You can be Someone everyone wants to be Understand the hurt of others Or at least try, For not all hurt is the same, And to say you understand, Would be lie. And be patient with those Whose words do not flow As easily as others. They cannot describe The hurt that comes and goes. But know the look Of hurt and loss, And know the face Because the face tells all. If you are a mother, Be all these things, Because I wish my mom Could have known me. And if you are a leader Lead with these traits, Lead by example And lead a change in the human race.
