GROWTH
When we drop all pretences and
show that we accept ourselves…
When we are no longer afraid to
show how much we fall short of
expectations…
When we patiently await our own turn
to bloom and show off what we are…
Where we have the courage to rise and
hopefully renew our efforts to re-build
what “man-made calamites” have
destroyed.
When we can accept others as they are…
when we see good even behind a
thorny facade….
When we can view life from both
sides…tolerating the sight of an ugly
half-eaten leaf because it helped bring
forth the beautiful rose….
When we can forget ourselves in
serving others…
When we no longer show how bad we
feel when others – even our own
brothers and sisters – are preferred to
us….
When we can laugh at ourselves
When we can truly love all
Irrespective of colour, creed or race…
THEN WE KNOW WE
HAVE GROWN!
