If you feel trapped in a complicated life Take a deep breath to calm the strife Sometimes we try to make life complicated When all it does is leave us suffocated So try pondering on this simple Haiku Do this because you must first love you You balance two things Internal and External You must not choose one In simplicity, you will find the seeds of balance This gives you all you need to include palance The path you choose should have a reason This allows your life to have a new season You may ask why I say these things to you Well, my friend, it’s because I truly love you Edward J.
