Being Human

Being Human
                                              Guests arrive
                            Every morning a new guest arrives
                              A joy, a depression, an awareness
                                                A problem
                                                  A doubt
                                                    A pain

                                          Unexpected Visitors
                                             Depleting Energy
                           Welcome and entertain each of them
                                      Even if a crowd of sorrows
                                              Deep frustration
                                                Teardrops fall
                                                 Empty inside

                                                 Honor guests
                                                    Take care
                                  There is always a new delight
                                 Meet them at the door laughing
                                                   Embrace all
                                                    Be Grateful
                                                     Seek soul.
