Fragrant Spices of Life

L ive, laugh and love are fragrant spices of life I n times of desperation, refreshing to the soul V eils and smoke screens placed around each bend E every illusion designed precisely to deceive L et The Holy Spirit be your guide, rely not on what you see A nd let it lead you safely through the maze U nder currents may disengage firm footings self-assured G ather up faith, hope, charity and love, adorn them as your shield H old on tenaciously in the storms, for more precious than gold, you are L eave burdens you cannot carry; let them fall where 'er they may O ften times they tend to overwhelm, stirring up mental storms V izualize the heart of innocents, see how no care nor worries it bears E ach day, resolve to take the time to live, love and laugh
