Rejection

As I walked a path today
I gathered my thoughts
And felt the sun shining down
Gently bronzing my skin

I thought about the rejection I had just endured
And the criticisms he had for me
And how I had done my best to change
And how it wasn't enough

And I smiled at the lady passing by
And waved at the driver as I crossed the street
I shined my light to all that I encountered
And I wondered why the sadness was fading from me so fast
Faster than it has in the past

And the realization came to me
That life is just so beautiful
And there is just so much to be happy about
And I am so in love with it
That to be sad with all there is to be happy about would be such a shame

And as I continued to walk
I became aware that the reason I had recovered so quickly was
Because I love myself
And as an old soul I know so much more than I used to

And when I got home
These fuzzy little felines came meowing
And I picked one up and squeezed it tight
And I knew that I was loved
And I was at peace
