Life is learning to be wiser and kinder.

The hollow hour leave me alone with my thoughts.
Hidden guilt and despair ascent when the faces of people gone appear.
Ancient memories changed direction of my life and song.

After years of running toward a road with dead-ends only.
I found out why I should have been kinder, knew forgiveness and held love
over my dreams and wrong priorities.

Today I look at my  life filled with many victories and
the gift of love wasn’t one of them.
Today I wished I truly knew the people who needed kindness.
I wished I knew what their skin deep pain and fear was .
Instead of demanding strength and purpose.

I understood too late for my brothers to listen instead of lecture.
