Embrace and Release

Embrace happiness wherever you find it Relish the good times happiness will bring Absorb all the happiness your mind will permit. Release sorrows that cause your heart to sting Cast aside the hurtful twinges inside your mind Quickly cast out the evil thoughts they bring. Embrace the joy and the peace you can find Especially in the love of family and friends Tightly cling to those loving ties that bind. Release disappoints that serve their own ends Don’t be discouraged by what you can’t control And always be quick to make amends. Embrace good things that nourish your soul When things seem to go wrong in your day Reach out for that which will make you whole. Release the negative; embrace the positive way.
