      A Precious Human Life

        Every day, think as you wake up,

        Today I am fortunate to have woken up

        I am alive, I have a precious human life,

        I am not going to waste it,

        I am going to use

        All my energies to develop myself,

        To expand my heart out to others,

        To achieve enlighenment for

        The benefit of all beings,

        I am going to have kind

        Thoughts twords others,

        I am not going to get angry,

        Or think badly about others,

        I am going to benefit Others

        As much as I can.

                The Laughing Heart

                  your life is your life
                  don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
                  be on the watch.
                  there are ways out.
                  there is a light somewhere.
                  it may not be much light but
                  it beats the darkness.
                  be on the watch.
                  the gods will offer you chances.
                  know them.
                  take them.
                  you can’t beat death
                  but you can beat death in life, sometimes.
                  and the more often you learn to do it,
                  the more light there will be.
                  your life is your life.
                  know it while you have it.
                  you are marvelous
                  the gods wait to delight
                  in you.
