Embrace, Release, Embrace

Embrace your life
and all it brings to you.
Don’t simply “be.”
Get up and DO.

Release all hate
that might dwell in your heart.
Forgive; move on . . .
Each day is a new start!

Embrace your loved ones.
Always let them know
how dear they are.
Love’s light must always glow.

Release hard feelings.
When your life is done,
release and then . . 
EMBRACE the living Son.
