for things that we cannot change <br />we may let them be <br /> <br />hence, i do not wish to change you <br />for you cannot be you <br /> <br />there is a time always to pray <br />to know what we can change and what we cannot <br /> <br />to know what is the difference between the two <br />i have limits too <br /> <br />for things that i can change for those i cannot <br />i may soon take my leave and go <br /> <br />to places where we do not mind each other anymore <br />where you are free to grow and be yourself <br /> <br />where i cannot see you anymore and then <br />i may stop gritting my own teeth<br /><br />RIC S.
