The Ones Who Love You

Pace yourself.

The race is far from over.

Open your eyes.

Take in all you see around you.

Opportunities come and go.

Some come only once in a lifetime.

But the race, is far from over.

Keep track of the ones who cheer you on;

Watch those that simply wait on the sidelines;

Both are "fans".

But only some are friends.

Look for those that reach out when things are bad;

Thank them for their kindness

Look for those that reach out when things are good;

They are happy for the obvious.

Love those that are there for both the good and the bad;

For they are the ones who truly love you.
