HAPPINESS COMPLETE


 “Dear Lord, transform my consciousness today, please, purge my heart of violence and hate. Please, Help me not ta throw your gifts away, dear Lord, but gratefully ta pray and wait. A brave and patient pilgrim I must be, not prone ta brooding, bitterness, and spite. Please, help me get my mind unbound and free, that I may radiate your Holy Light! I gotta be a kind and gentle soul, be peaceful, loving, faithful, tough, and sweet. So, Lord of All, please let your blessings roll; it's You who makes my happiness complete!”

AS THOUGH MY LADY WERE SPEAKING


 “Please, be as kind as kind could ever be, forgiving, understanding, all day long. Yes, please, be sweetly patient, Loving me; be fearless, faithful, gentle, brave, and strong. May Heaven help you out with all o' these, and always richly bless Your life, And Mine. Lord, Help us always rest our minds at ease, for we shall trust in Thee, O Life Divine!”

THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE


 “Some giants want us all ta buy their oil; our burning oil will make our grandkids die. Some giants make their profits off our toil, but we still let those robbers kill us – Why? Oh, every night we watch our TV sets, or play our games, and fritter life away. Now, goofing off 's as foolish as it gets, and wiser souls will get informed and Pray! It's not that hard ta know what's going on; if you would really know the truth, you'll seek. I hope you Will before your chance is gone, you Won't, if you stay Proud, instead o' Meek! [ “meek” meaning humble, gentle, accepting of the good Lord's will]

PERFECT MAY NOT BE BEST


 “Perfection's what you MUST achieve? You're gonna hurt yourself, I do believe! No, please, pick out a gentler, kinder way, and patience, that's what wiser ones display.”

HARMONY, PLEASE!

 “Please, bless me now with mercy’s healing balm… please, non-attachment... equanimity: tranquility, serenity, and calm, a Peaceful mind and heart, unbound and Free. And I’ll be oh, so very gratified; yes, I’ll be pleased as anyone could ever be. With courage, I’ll in confidence abide. A kinder, gentler world, I gotta see! How ‘bout You?”
