If you’re afraid
To do things
Remember this mantra
Had I not
Then
You never could
If you’re afraid
To do things
Remember this mantra
Had I not
Then
You never could
Once you forgive
Anger goes away
You see it
For what it
Was whatever it
Was a lesson
Or a lifetime
Or something in-between
Don’t hold onto
Things that hurt
Or anger you
Try forgiveness first
And remember that
Whatever it was
It simply was
Happiness can never
Be given and
It can never
Be taken happiness
Can only ever
Be found but
Not out there
With someone or
At some place
Or during some
Time or another
Happiness can be
Shared with others
But it’s never
Theirs to keep
Until that is
They find theirs
Inside of themselves
Okay we shared
Something maybe lots
Of some things
We dined upon
The table that
We are tasted
The forbidden fruits
And they were
Succulent and delicious
And deeply satisfying
And when finished
We pushed away
And went back
To our lives
And whatever we
Do call it
There’s one thing
We can’t deny
We’d dine there
Again because it
Was so good
Why must we
Always label things
It is said
So that we
Create our world
A child sees
Points and says
Dada and mama
And even now
We enjoy someone
And still point
And still say
Boyfriend or lover
Partner or husband
But did God
Upon seeing creation
Point and say
Looky there galaxies
And the stars
And everything else
Or did He
Sit back saying
Wow isn’t that
Just simply marvelous
