The Good Life
Live with bold zest,
Start now this day;
Live sacred quest,
Learn how to play.
Love all you meet,
Start life easy;
Love makes things sweet,
End with breezy.
Each face you see:
Tells a story;
Each longs to be
Nice and happy.
Love each sad face,
Give room to grow;
Love each harsh trace,
Glimpse pain that shows.
Each day you lose
Brings death nearer;
Love you can choose
To flood booster.
Some days are dark,
Some seem dreary;
Look for the spark,
Take things easy.
Fit piece by piece,
Let puzzle urge;
Grab special feast
In simple surge.
Laugh at your faults,
Just ease your nerves;
You need not bolt
Your learning curve.
Look at things bright,
Purge gloom and doom;
Love puts things right,
Just spare some room.
Learn to unlearn
And re-invent
The way you earn,
Re-learn content.
Be willing now
To smile and pray;
Love frames endow,
Align fond play.
