Pot of gold

 

Enjoying being able to choose

from three different kinds of tea,

that's the happiness you'll never lose

at least that's part of it for me

You can walk, trot, stride or run

along life's path,

or just relexedly sit in the sun

instead of going out of your way to face God's wrath

On a cold and rainy day,

you see them so often,

wouldn't it be easier to just say

"Let the love flow and your heart soften"?

Please forgive me when I admit,

when I forget the dough,

it usually isn't enough to have grit,

one must also let his humanity show

Cold as the world can appear

and with fear you may sometimes quiver

Remember that there is nothing to fear

that is not inside you; yet you shiver

with anticipation or anxiety

when facing the populous,

the mob called society,

who sometimes want you to lead the exodus

Like lemmings off a cliff,

you may show others the way

to let their upper lips get stiff,

although, no, this cannot be okay

For we know life is like a pot of gold,

a precious treasure,

not to be squandered or sold,

yes, life is precious, beyond any measure.
