Learn to listen

Learn to listen like a teddy bear
with ears open and mouth closed tight
learn to forgive like a teddy bear
with an open heart,not caring who is right
learn to love like a teddy bear
with arms open and imperfect eyesight
do not ask for your life's load lightened
but for courage to endure
do not ask for fulfillment in all your life
do not ask for perfection in all you do
but for the wisdom not to repeat mistakes
and finally, do not ask for more
before saying, " thank you,"
for what you have already received
if you're looking for somebody to blame -
look in the mirror
there is no challenge that cannot be met
and dream that cannot be achieved..
