Be Happy

Be happy, graceful soul, said I to a lover torn and tormented Be happy, why do you cry, why do you fret over the unnecessary Do you need love to feel complete, see you it not as being mere slavery I am sure that with yourself, you are not even acquainted! Why, did you not read the words from the book of mankind Do you not know that you are made from the divine That in you, lies a whole universe That with you, the whole of creation does always converse Yes, indeed, it's true, why should you lament over lost love Looking at you, I am sure the Lord of the Heavens many a sigh does heave Love does be you, love does be in you, love does be your breath Pray, love does be in your very birth! Why else would you be walking around Why else would it be tested, the might of your frown Do you not know that Earth is but part of the voyage That someday, you shall wake up to a more peaceful paysage See you, I can only wish you to be happy Happy, like me Mind you, I say it with a load of humility Yes, pray, be happy when faced with each of your misery Tested you shall not be forever The Great Lord does be so clever He does see, mind you, He does see, even if He remains hidden So pray, smile, laugh and be happy; pray, be not so torn, so sullen!
