i've made mistakes <br />in my life that have <br />hurt a lot of people.... <br /> <br />i want to make sure <br />that what i'm doing now, <br />helps a lot of people. <br /> <br />it begins with admitting <br />and taking ownership <br />of my mistakes... <br /> <br />walking in forgiveness, <br />forgiving others, and myself, <br />as i go.... <br /> <br />making every step count.... <br />fully aware of the motives <br />behind each action.... <br /> <br />fully aware of the weight <br />of every thought and word..... <br />of the responsibility we share <br /> <br />for and to each other..... <br />and to the earth. <br />freedom sweats, <br /> <br />compassion bleeds.... <br />the truth is no further <br />than the intent of the heart!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-intent-of-the-heart/
