Swallow shame like a shot of tequila-
Let it burn inside of you.
Allow the pain to massage your inner world
To numb your nerves.
Cast away guilt when you have done nothing wrong
and hold the fort when you are being attacked.
Choose the right-sided way up
when faced with topsy turvy ideas and values.
Find the strength from within
and extinguish any external temptation.
Know that reality is within your reach
when you are determined to encounter it.
Don't be fooled by niceties
as these could be deceptions.
Don't be afraid to stay silent
as being neutral is better than being negative.
Stand firm with your virtues and
show solidarity for the truth.
Be like the common man
but also be the person that represents aspiration.
Be aware of stagnant minds
and break the barriers with reasoning.

When We Were Very Young
In another box set that my parents got me when I was younger contained four books by A.A. Milne. 'When We Were Very Young' is a collection of poems that Milne wrote for his son Christopher Robin. This is a book that is full of references to Mr. Edward Bear, but a lot of the poems give some various descriptions of life of a very young child and where, when, how and why they do what they do. The illustrations are quite cute for you can see what Christopher Robin is and may be thinking. Also, Pooh Bear does make his self-known at various points. I have read these verses many, many times over the years and each time make me feel good about myself.
