The Way You Are 6/3/2026

Your name
Your face
Your body
Identifies
Your physical
Presence
But not
Who you are
Beneath
The clothes
You wear.

Perhaps
Its your smile
Your laugh
Or sense
Of humor
That identifies
More
Your personality
That is adored.

Maybe it’s
The things
You’ve done
And about
To do
That describes
The a doer
Of things
And not a being.

Tis simpler
Than the
Words above
Tis the soul’s
Intentions and
Desires
For mindfulness
And peacefulness
That fully
Describes
The way you are
At your birth.
