Caring Less Who Sits Next To You

Can you remember a time,
You were made to feel...
As if you were the 3rd foot?
You know,
The odd one out?
And convinced...
'Perhaps that suggestion,
I should walk with a limp...
Is really not that bad! '

How sad it is,
Others treat people like that!

And I 'bet' today,
You are not walking with a limp!
Or feeling sad.

However...
Whatever your circumstances are now?
Who from that 'old' crowd of 'motivators'
Can you say...
Achieved 'your' expectations?

Do you need more time,
To think over that question?
Or have you arrived,
Knowing you've got peace of mind?
And caring less who sits next to you,
As you bask in the Sun...
On a cruise heading towards the Bahamas!

Times change!
And no one better than you,
Knows that now!
