I can’t live forever,
that is a truth,
but I can
live the truth
of forever
in the moments
of each day’s proof.
I can’t be rich and famous,
like someone who
lives for gain,
but I can
have the riches
beyond fame,
that I count
through the karma
of my ways.
I can’t be beautiful
in the appearances
in which I
dress and look,
like some who
sells themselves
on style and shape
and through
fashionable surfaces;
but I can be
beautiful in
the soul of myself,
and be content with
who I am,
through living a
good and just life
and standing in
the loveliness of its truth.
