Analysis of Reflection
With age, becoming more sensitive,
With time more deliberate,
With life, more philosophical,
With friends, more choosy.
With the past, let it be,
With kids and family, just enjoy,
With loneliness, breathe in and look around,
With nature, capture the moment.
With love, seems like an eternal start,
With peace, build it so it can come,
With emotions, let you inner heart speak,
With death, cry your sorrow and cherish special times.
With the future, you will decide or wait for answers,
With the world, for you to figure and discover,
With the skies, never stop gazing,
With universe, beyond us and humanity
With yourself and others, be kind and forgiving…,
