Open our eyes

With good fortune we can see

clearly a path to follow

For a better quality of life

for more of us

For days of freedom

To a fair world far ahead that will

look back and thank us for our actions today

While also benefiting from our leisure and rest

That we share gratitude for

**

Clear path?

Imagination

Forever moving

Life embracing diligence

Strive for shared health

Productive

Fair interactions

Logical steps to

better quality of life

for the most possible in any given situation

prioritizing

Balance

Of

Health

Overall

More comfort

Pleasure

Less suffering

**

Idealistic

With a practical twist

All we need to do is

Be kind

And be swift

Sometimes it’s hard to keep up

I know so myself

It’s like reading a book

With the rest on the shelf

But when we stick to our plan

And catch up when we can

Make a difference

And work more

For the entire story

Then we stand to find

Way more glory

**

Who’s in it for the glory?

Is that not something to strive for?

Feelings outpouring

Joy to be alive more?

When health

Both mental and physical

are all that we drive for

No excess or greed

Because we

should not hide more than

We need for keeping

our own health thriving

But share ways to meet

the new day arriving

**

Like have an open heart

And work hard from the start

If you need a break

Then take one

Put health first, just be smart

Nourish your body

With nutrition and rest

Exercise as we work

Or take time when it’s best

Don’t push too hard

And take time to stretch

The result of our labour

Depends on

how we rise to the test

**

Without change day after day

the sun rises and sets

Outlasting humankind’s stay

(That’s a very safe bet)

As the Earth spins on it’s axis

For billions of years

How the sun rises and passes

with eternal gears

So we ace the test

No matter that the sun goes down

It’s for the best

Energy we give

comes back around

**

Revitalizing strength

A breath of fresh air

Returning awareness

The instinct to care

Support all life on Earth

All creatures, all humans

Cast aside pretenses that hurt

And together build new plans

**

The light would not leave

anyone out

So why would we fight

our bright sun about

Details that do no harm

Like a personal preference?

Why shade humanity’s charm?

Shine peace and love as a reference

Why fight for causes

That leave loving life out?

Time to cut our losses

Follow a much more kind route

**

I sure don’t like a storm cloud

Breathing over my warm shoulder

Threatening my peace

Making days feel so much colder

So I turn around to face it

I’ve learned to become bolder

And as the rain pours down

It makes the sun look truly golder

The terrible winds

Fade fast

The once threatening clouds

No longer smolder

**

I’ve learned to respect each

storm

as I have gotten older

Like I aim to respect each person

Each creature

Each tree and rock

It pays to respect everything

It shouldn’t come as a shock

It’s how we get past storms

And any kind of weather

It’s how we get through challenges 

And create a better world together

**

Just open our hearts

Find strength to accept

All truly caring ways

Share all our days

Smile and laugh

To dissipate the thickest haze

Follow a kind path

Open our senses

to a greater

Kind shared space

The world should be a fair place

Let our innate compassion

take over and amaze
