The Path Of Light (Desiderata 2006)

Rating: 5.0


Keep on searching for your peace and always look for love
remembering that life is a journey that is over far too quickly

Measure each success from within, without pride or arrogance
making sure you leave only memories and joy, not hate or regret

Help those around you feel safe and protected,
because fear is our main predator which can consume you

Delight in each passing sunrise; each plaintive bird song
and never forget to wonder and ask the questions of time

In all your travels greet others with understanding and compassion
without presuming of their attitude and state of mind

At all times believe that the only person you have to prove anything to,
is yourself, and your God, and he will understand whatever the result

Smile at those sent to tempt or hinder you, as they have lost their way
and resolve to assist them to regain the path to their peace

Do not waste energy on wanting things you do not have; always
be calm and at peace, looking for joy in all that surrounds you

For every moment in time be truthful to your own identity;
do not paint a façade that belongs to another, as you will be found out

Continue on this path without deviation and falter, with your eyes straight ahead and then, be assured, that final step will be the greatest of all
