Life Journey, Ahoy

we all want to fill life with fun and joy 
while some get it others remain bereft
why don’t we all win this journey, ahoy?
maybe each one is not equally deft

a pity, some don't grab a chance that comes
brooding it over, a sheer waste of time 
one has to be smart to learn fast and hum
hymns of the master with which heart may chime

practicing well, one learns to feel lifted
for it's a matter of choice not just fate 
humble, honest, kind; gems that are gifted
letting the love flow, pushing out the hate

faithful surrender brings peace to enjoy
a choice each one of us needs to employ
