Life's Measured Distance

Walk a little far, on life's winding way,

With those who yearn to journey far, away.

Distance makes the heart grow fonder still,

Walk away, find respect, bend to your will.

Closer ties, in time, may fade,

Respect, like shadows, in light’s parade.

You are to me, a mango sweet,

In life's orchard, a cherished treat.

The earth, for ages, with the sun in tow,

Keeps a measured space, in steady flow.

A distance to walk, together yet apart,

Is crucial, dear, for the beating heart.

Too much of anything can destroy its core,

Its essence fades, its value no more.

Whatever the person, be it he or she,

This truth remains, in life's decree.

To walk together, let space be thine,

Don't be present always, let the light shine.

For in your absence, importance gleams,

You are unique, in life's grand schemes.

Stay gentle, don't bark at every slight,

From weak hearts, don’t take their plight.

The world, a stage, often does betray,

But live life strong, in your own way.

Never be a toy in someone’s hand,

Live life on your strength, take a stand.

In life, relationships weave a complex net,

To maintain them well, is no small bet.

What others say, what others think,

Don’t let their words make your heart sink.

My mind, though heavy, seeks to clear,

Go forth, my dear, with no fear.

You are God's child, in His embrace,

With His hand guiding you, find your place.

In this, dear one, take pride and stride,

For with God, you walk, side by side.
