Is not enough.
You must avail yourself
Of each golden opportunity,
And throw your heart and soul
Into your progress-life.

The pain of life,
For it is from the pain of life
That we value
The sweetness of life.

Will never be happy.

Even if you become the target
Of wild criticism,
Your inner happiness
Will eventually prove to you
That God has always
Been pleased with you.

That you are unable to change.
Change your own way
Of looking at truth.
Look from a higher
And more encompassing
Life-tree branch.
