Take It Easy On Yourself

Just a poem, today.

        Go Gently

 So much to do, so little life,
 Go gently, Love, go gently.
 Don't chase about for what isn't there,
 And it isn't, evidently.
 Forgive yourself your human flaws,
 Go sweetly, Love, go sweetly.
 And give yourself the benefit,
 Of living life, completely.
 Regrets are rocks that fill our beds,
 Go easy, Love, go easy.
 You've earned yourself a feather-top,
 Lie down and rest, go easy.
 Don't put yourself at war with life,
 Go lightly, Love, go lightly.
 Then find that peaceful place inside,
 Where all that is you glows brightly.
 For often what we wish could be,
 We pursue much too intently.
 Life will go the way it will.
 Go gently, Love. Go gently.
