Learning to Love
June 22, 2013
A trial here, a problem there
a faulty friendship to repair
is all part of the way of life
won through hardships and bitter strife
The gift heaven has brought to us
trampled as if a speck of dust
because of frustration and stress
from those unworthy of life's test
but i won't act as others do
happiness is what i pursue
eternal joy as the reward
righteous in the eyes of the lord
A smile here, compliments there
positive feelings left from prayer
facing problems without complaint
learning to love instead of hate

I really like this poem, it's beautiful and it reminds me of when I REALLY learned to love myself! :)
