The following poem was contributed by Ollie Lind, one of our subscribers in Australia. Ollie is a very talented writer, poet and company coach.
Looking
To live, to love;
to learn, to share.
These are the gifts
that I must bear.
To know another,
if not my brother.
Kindred soul, not part, but whole.
To love as though a mother.
I do not know how it came,
somehow I rose above my shame
of finding others to blame.
Past regrets, a futile game.
Now I know, I finally see,
that all I have to do is be.
I choose the path that I shall tread.
I look with hope, no longer dread.
Ollie Lind
