Advice As It Is Given

All that is ever wished for lies within the mind
For all that is ever hoped for, seek and ye shall find

Desires lie upon thy hands now and forevermore
In yourself holds all which you are seeking for

Trust in God and keep the faith forever going strong
That in times of adversity, he maketh right out of wrong

Accept all guidance that unto you is given
Believe in Jesus and in the fact that he has risen

Don’t ignore intuition; for, it not forsakes the truth
And, it behooves you to lavish in all the things of youth

Don’t dwell in self pity as it’s upon the devil’s curse
Instead, search the Truth and read it verse by verse

And then unto you is given the gift of inner-strength
To assist you in misfortune, in any given length

Be it inner-peace to strive for everyday--
So that wisdom upon us is not forever washed away.
