Know Who You AreA Poem by LegacyIs this a possibility... in Knowing Who We Are, do you think we should take the time to understand others, before investing in our own?Understanding who we are? As a young child I was faced with many circumstances which stretched ‘who I was’ at an age when baseball, snowballs and candy should have consumed me. How are we to assist, teach or even lend a hand to another or for that matter given the right when we truly do not understand who we are? Do we lend an ear? Or just keep Talking? Understanding Who We Are, could this expose us for who we truly are? The future moves into the past… Know Who You Are Facing our Fears – Is all, but a mirror image One we refuse to see - one we refuse to acknowledge? I claim no acceptance in fostering appreciation Encompassing emotions, other than my own Elapsed time, this I can-not proclaim. Guilty I am… Immersing ‘my being’ in the past The lifting of boundaries (through Love and Understanding) Offered in abundance… “This eludes me.” Where have we lost such pluralisms in life? Why do we wish to ex-change the reflections of who we are? Without values we have no foundation Our future should not, and must not, be transmogrified (Because of our past) Eyes of first impressions lost in judgment Casting of shadows, tossing blame Why must we quench our thirst from the well of hatred? Who are we to judge without knowledge, or out of fear? Thoughts become nothing more than reflections
History will - recall voices within our diverse past
When we really speak the words ‘Thank You’ ‘I Love You’ ‘I ‘Appreciate You’ ‘I am Truly Sorry’ are they really filled with the meanings they deserve?
A message conveyed or perhaps ‘lesson to be learned’ Looking back – moving forward Beyond Cognition, reflections now dissolved Image of another becomes clear I must vanish to… Know Who {You} Are…
