A Full Life

Dream big. Smile much. Cleanse yourself with tears. Aspire heroes. Protect the small. Don’t listen to your fears. Life is much more than success— Failures do play a part. But learn from them and you may find A lesson learned at heart. Have faith. Don’t lose hope. Find joy in little things. Laugh plenty. Don’t complain. And hear the angels sing. Perspective sure does have a way In turning bad thoughts around. Thus, remember all God’s blessings, And hear life’s joyful sound. Be a child. Imagine much. Hold the whole world in your hand. Form opinions. Respect the different. And bring peace to every land. Comfort those who seem saddened By life’s deepest burn. For someday you might just find You need comfort in return. Love all. Hate none. Let kindness grow like seeds. Be good. Neglect wrong. Look after others’ needs. Love is patient. Love is kind. Words said so long ago. But their truth still echoes loudly— A truth we all need know.
