To A Niece
I suppose for those of us
Who have not used
The old white out stick,
The sticky delete key
On our memories
As we recall our crazy,
Wildest times, the things
We may or might not
Have done, that at
The very least we
Realize and learn
From the good and the bad,
Gain the capacity to
Stretch our compassion
And understanding for others
Doing similar stupid things,
Not that we should stand
Idly by and let some asshole
Piss on our legs,
Shit on our couches,
But as the hours and days
Add up and grow into
Months, years and lifetimes,
That we come to know
That in order to fulfill
Our time on earth it is essential
That we live to love,
Love to live.
