Recipe for Living

Written by dingdans on July 22nd, 2008

Some things a man surely know,
If he is going to live or grow;
He needs to know that life is more
Than a man lays by in store,
That more than all he may obtain,
Contentment offers greater gain.

He needs to feel the trail of mirth,
To sense the beauty of the earth,
To know the joy that kindness brings
And all the worth of little things.
He needs to have an open mind,
A friendly heart for all mankind.

A trust in self – without conceit –
And strength to rise above defeat.
He needs to have the will to share,
A mind to dream, a soul to dare,

A purpose firm, a pot to plod,
A faith in man, a trust in god.
