Circus clowns with painted faces
Smile all the time.
Their happiness is painted on.
They always appear fine.

If you could only realize
You’re like the happy clown …
That inside you rests pure love…
You never would feel down.

Your spirit longs to be awake.
It asks to find release.
For once you come to know it,
You’ll discover inner peace.

No storms that brew, no outer strife
Can ever bring you woe,
As you become attuned within
And Spirit’s presence do you know.

Paint on a smile if you must.
Pretend that you are glad,
And focus on the love inside
To keep from feeling sad.

Then send that love to others
And feel a real connection
As you awake and feel the joy
Of sharing true affection.

All are Spirit at the core –
Connected at the source.
Great peace and joy await you
When guided by this inner Force.
