Getting Better

Apr 24, 2023 by Ron Jones Leave a Comment

 

It's time to make an evolutionary leap.

a poem by Ron Jones

I have long felt
deep in my bones
that there is something to figure out
about being human.

Something I need to figure out
something I can figure out
about getting better
at being human.

Not better than anybody else
better than my former self.
Better than the person I was a year ago
a month ago
yesterday.

Better than the person I was
a moment ago
when I snapped at you.

Or the countless other times
I fell down on the path
of striving to be
the better angel of my nature.
