One seeks happiness by trying to be unhappy less and less,
Not feeling comfortable when afraid, for fear is being unsure,
Less secure, but bliss is being unaware, more.
Yet bravery is being fearless more, and more aware.

Energy is good, but anger is best when dissipated fully,
Making it easier to love, best when shared completely.
Of sadness, we appreciate it better yesterday and the day before,
Then utter sorrow? Grief occurs when love is lost irrevocably.
It's true that joy enfolds when love is appreciated, and
Our sense of peace is felt when all is forgiven...
Noble, yes, but forgiveness occurs when love is shared.
