The greatest gift 

One gives another 

Is showing up 

In the moment 

With attention and grace. 

The greatest strength 

One cultivates within 

Is a gentle peace 

That can resonate and extend 

With generosity and abandon.  

The greatest love 

One feels in a lifetime 

Comes from embracing what is 

And releasing what isn’t 

With full acceptance. 

The greatest legacy 

One leaves the world 

Is to turn the other cheek 

And to rise above everything  

With complete forgiveness.
