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.
