As We Choose

Julia
There are times
For all things
And many truths.
Speak little
Love much,
Open your heart
To all things new
And known.
Pass your time
Understanding
That you
Are what you want.
Give freely of
Your ideas and love,
Ask nothing in return.
Spend time each day
Laughing
Especially at
Yourself.
Listen only to words
That will free all...
And know
That to condemn
Is to chain yourself
To an ideal
Empty of love.
