When dealing with others it is necessary to display,
much patience, much grace and much love.
And to show dignity under all circumstances -
these are virtues you can draw from above.
It is not necessary to be right or wrong;
it is more important knowing when to be still.
Staying calm and serene in the eye of the storm,
until your heart feels composed and ultimately fulfilled.
If you feel it is necessary to explain,
thoughts or feelings with sheer passion.
Think clearly and deeply before you speak,
and always act with compassion.
Sometimes it is necessary just to be gracious,
and have gratitude for all that you are.
And give thanks for the talents or gifts you have,
despite imperfections or flaws.
You may feel it is necessary to prove yourself,
boosting your image or self-worth.
But what is the point to live a life,
in shallow existence here on Earth?
What might have been necessary in your past,
may now seem silly or trite.
As you grow in awareness each new day,
your future becomes clear and bright.
So what is necessary that can’t be ignored,
and is meaningful only to you?
It is the truth of consciousness triggering your soul,
giving guidance to everything you do.
