Writing that last one (Two in Five) just now

Suddenly became aware of things shown

In a positive light instead of the opposite

Which can drag minds down and upset ...



The delicate balance between down and up

Which exists in everything we do as we map

Our way thru life and evolve in many stages

On our passage into maturity, a thing ageless



Noting we can deal with things in an "up" way

Make us much stronger as we show care stays

Foremost in our minds, as we consider feelings

Of others we interact with, who are not being - 



Always aware of the good intentions we have

Which are primary in our minds as we interact

So, it pays to consider things well in advance

And avoid spontaneous reactions to a stance



Doing so - will make us so much better beings

For then we will understand others ... seeing

Their point of view and giving it some merit

Something we need do, in order to share it ...



- Tristram
