In this world of stress and strife
You need to take the time
To step outside the battles
And soak up the sublime.

There’s far too little happiness
And far too much disdain.
You need to seek out love and joy
And set aside the pain.

Find beauty in the tiny things.
Seek laughter when you can.
There’s time for work and time for play.
Put balance in your plan.

Yes, kind advice we offer you.
It’s nothing you don’t know.
But far too many fail to stop
And seek the inner glow.
