If only we all turned to God, and lived in harmony with nature. finding ourselves in a simple life.

A Joyful Heart. A joyful heart is blessed By peace of mind And cheery mindfulness A raised spirit languishing in purity Focusing on the positives far beyond The obscuring trees And falling branches That put one ill of ease Looking for the sun And not seeing the confounding ominous clouds Being content Lost in the moment Away from the consuming draining crowd Seeing real beauty in the simplest things Your spirit soars on angels downy soft wings And relishing Gods many gifts That raise you high above Feeling his power and his love Being grateful and appreciative For what you have got And not desiring what you have not Believing in yourself Grasping faith and trust in the one above Through prayer and supplication With undying love Being yourself Not being someone your not Seeing over the rainbow Smelling the flowers Making the most of what time devours Leading a simple life Without the snares and slings What a mad world beyond redemption brings Helping each other mending broken wings Radiating love for others Bringing out the best Through kindness willingness And finesse.
