You can't remain shallow while exploring the deep
And expect all the unveiled secrets to keep.
Once the mind is enlightened, some reins must be tightened,
Some things put aside, if these treasures you'd keep.
For, the newfound decisions command some revisions,
Some changes in lifestyle, adherence to goals,
Lest a mockery be made of the blessings bestowed
And your path turned away from the golden road.
Come sit in the silence and ponder your path.
What would you have yourself learn in this life?
You've wandered the dark road, you've welcomed the glam.
Do you now ask your maker, "Accept who I am"?
Or is there a newness for you on the rise?
How will you be viewed through your children's eyes?
Are your ducks in a row, for your challenge to meet?
Will you now and forever refuse to retreat?
Say: it's onward and upward my journey, my goal;
My present and future are in my control;
The guidance and blessings that come from inside
I'll share with the world with joy and with pride.
May Glory await as my pathway stays true.
May Honor and Wisdom direct me and you.
Now, let us join forces and new roadways pave,
Making passionate victors of all who would crave...
...the keys to the kingdom, the light in the lamp;
Protection forever from the cold and the damp;
the hands of the healer; the warmth of the sun;
the joy of the knowledge life's only begun.

happiness
