On Living
Live today, for it has already been accepted
Or you wouldn't be here
I hear birds singing from a cloudless sky
Live with love, or you wouldn't be happy, trust me
Love, keeps questioning, who are you, i hear love, but, i don' respond
Live with wisdom, it is already inside of you
We are divinely made, we cry, we smile, we eat
Live with vigour, as you have the strenght to do.
In my old age i have become lazy, two stretches maybe, per day
Live in gratefulness, for life is a gift
A prayer a day, keeps God in sight, really.

Wise instructions delivered with a humor and a joy that tells on the persona! That first stanza is especially beautiful, Gillena, and sets the contented tone for the whole. I love it.💖

Wise advice indeed, Gillena, which I try to live by. I live in a place where the pace of life is slower, the skies are huge, and I can always hear birds.
