Far from perfect

I'll learn to be patient,
I'll learn not to be proud and stay humble,
I'll learn to give without expecting anything in return,
I'll learn to be kind even in the darkest of times,
I'll learn to teach but never with harsh words,
instead I'll motivate, encourage and support,
I'll learn to to tell myself when to let go,
and lastly
I'll learn to forgive and not harbor any ill will.

I'm far from perfect. I find it tough ;especially to forgive, and being patient.  
I want to be able to reflect on my own life later on and be at ease to know at least I tried. 

Life is a stream,
On which we strew,
Petal by petal the flower of our heart,
The end lost in dream.
