Wait without hate
As a way to see
The beauty within reality,
And sometimes waiting
Is the only action to take
To let go of the shame
From past mistakes,
Especially since being kind
Actually does take time,
So focus on the fundamental
As well as anything essential
By trying to be gentle,
And offer a sense of comfort
So that no one would get hurt,
And even if the past cannot change,
Cope with hope
As a way to rearrange,
And eradicate the fear
Of anything unknown
Because history has shown
How life is like a story
That must be told,
So live with humility
By accepting the human identity,
And earn both knowledge and wisdom
Through the acceptance of what went wrong,
And then keep dancing through life
By simply moving along
