Forget it. <br />Clinging onto times now gone. <br />Forget it. <br />Holding onto resentments. <br />And exposing pessimistic points of views. <br />Forget it. <br />Sitting embittered. <br />With wishes to remember reasons and why! <br />And showing others how you despise their lives. <br />Forget it. <br />Trying to convince others your are right, <br />And they are wrong. <br />Making attempts to stop your feet from patting... <br />From the nonsensical words heard, <br />Over the monotonous thumping of rap songs. <br />Forget it. <br />Looking for escapes to allow your comfort zone to spread. <br />Forget it. <br />Accept. <br />You are among those who are aging. <br />And the quickness of this you dread. <br />Forget it. <br />Accept. <br />This is the process of life, <br />Each generation is fed! <br />And we... <br />Those of us who live to become elderly, <br />Have a routine we keep! <br />We get up in the morning... <br />Take a nap at noon! <br />Or find ourselves in conversations about it all! <br />Until we become bored and fall to sleep! <br />Forget it. <br />Accept. <br />Be grateful and feel blessed! <br />The best thing done that comes to those who live... <br />Is forgetting and forgiving. <br />And not finding where or when to take time to rest! <br /> <br />'Excuse me. <br />I'm sorry. <br />I didn't realize you were sleeping. <br />We were talking just a few seconds ago. <br />And suddenly your eyes closed. <br />I just wanted to make sure you were okay! ' <br /> <br />~I was meditating on your last statement. <br />Remind me... <br />What was it you were saying? ~ <br /> <br />'Forget it. <br />My stop is coming up soon. <br />I'm getting off. <br />We can continue this tomorrow.'<br /><br />Lawrence S.
