Tempt not my enduring patience.
And test not daily
my goodwill.

Learn the limits
and know the boundaries
of a good person doing good.

Cage not the bird that lays the golden eggs
from which you get your daily portion
and rest in the feathers of.

Resist the urge to put oneself into the middle of things.
Things that are not meant for you,
do not meddle in.

Forward motion
and momentum
are at play.

Remember my independence
is not your shortcut
because I now share
so willingly.

Map out and plan.
Pay attention
to details.

Stifle not my burning desires
nor distract me
from my dreams, ambitions and adventures.

Don’t double down on dependence
and skate
on my smooth ice.

Take up your own passion and mission.
Learn anew
and give fresh enthusiasm.

Seeds and flowers.
Vegetables, herbs,
and eggs.

Outdated opinions are 6 feet under
pulling down
tomorrow.

Cease rambling and ranting
about what went wrong.
Say nothing or say it nice.

Obstinance has made a grave of broken bones
Leave anger ground to dust where it belongs.
Only bitterness and suffocation lay buried among them.
Stop digging.

Start lifting.
Stop feigning helplessness.
Capability matters and attracts.

Slight not.
The work waits.
And find the lighter.

Lighten the load.
Fill the tank.
Start the fire.

With your own two hands.
Write it down.
Calendars, passwords, and lists.

Clean what is a mess.
Empty what is full.
Replace what is used.

Look for your part in the solution.
Solve the problem of organizing you.
Care for your mind and your body.

Do what needs to be done
and don’t get stuck in outbursts of cursing,
and languish in laziness.

Be ready for my growth.
Be ready for my optimism.
Be ready for more of my goodwill.

But be ready to stretch your own wings.
by stepping off the platform you did not build for yourself.
Taking flight.

Flying about this beautiful sacred place
as you are well capable of doing
and continue on.

Be ready to willingly be good
And be as good to me
as I am to you.
