Seize This Summer Day
True to self, true to others.
Forgiveness to yourself and
your earthly brothers.
Laughter always overcomes the
most tragic of tears.
Hope allays many fears.
Alacrity and cheer wherever
you go.
Integrity in all things you do.
Responding to all who email
you; not just a putrid few.
Kneeling down before bed, in
thanks to God, who made you.
Love for all people who have
more or less than you.
Patriotic to your country, in the
face of hateful contempt.
Courage to speak your truth,
at each and every attempt.
Healthy living through food
as Aristotle said:
"Let food be your medicine,
and medicine be your food!"
Laugh at yourself, your foibles
and mistakes, included; be of
great cheer and never deluded.
