During my time on our blue-green sphere,
I sometimes feel turmoil, living here.
I've found ideas I can release
to ease my mind and give it peace.
I do not need to have lots of things.
Pleasure is found in what nature brings.
I don't need to prove myself to my brothers.
If I'm okay with me, I can forget the others.
If there's trouble, and I'm thrown into it,
the "Serenity Prayer" is how I view it.
If I can change it, I'll try to do it.
If I can escape it, I'll say, "screw it".
Otherwise, I accept it and live through it.
All things must pass. George Harrison knew it.
