Beautiful and vast in size,
Mr Love and Miss Compassion stood,
Gazing deeply into each other's eyes;
They were to be married soon,
The courting period was bliss-- a boon.
From their hearts love overflowed,
Though filled to the brim, they could still contain more!
Mr Peace and Miss Harmony strolled by,
She in a silken gown, he in a bow tie;
One with their surroundings, one with each other,
They walked hand in hand- in perfect step with one another.
Mr Happy and Miss Joy sat in a tree,
Chomping juicy mangoes and watching the bees;
When their gaze fell on the lovers
Whom they could clearly see,
They clapped their hands and couldn't contain their glee!
Miss Faith, Miss Healing and Miss Unity,
Sat discussing the sea of humanity.
"I believe in the essential goodness of man!"said Faith.
It was a statement oft repeated to her mates.
"If goodness in one could connect to goodness in another and another
and another,
This great wave of universal goodness could be pooled and shared
together!"said Unity;
A wish she hoped would turn to reality
"It can be done! Never fear...
My soothing balm will dry every tear;
Every hurting wound will lessen,
Every painful thought will soften!" said Healing with great fervour and feeling!
Grandpa Wisdom listened intently,
A frown knit his brow, he nodded sagely;
"Man has to deal with other emotions as well,
Negative and strong in his heart they dwell.
'Anger' invades man and all else is pushed aside,
'Rage' follows soon enough and sits by his side.
In the heart where 'Jealousy' is harboured,
'Envy and 'Spite'are also favoured.
'Intolerance' creeps in and and makes his way
Positive emotions are held at bay!
To you Love, Compassion, Peace, Harmony,
All I can say is this--
Be around for man
Or 'you' he will miss.
Temptation is there lying in wait
To lure man away by throwing his bait!
Man may stray or be in doubt,
Turn away or seek you out.
Like a shepherd who guides his wandering sheep
Help man climb the mountain steep
Till he sees the blinding light--a wondrous and glorious sight!
Guide him to his abode, his cosy nest
Where he can lie down in peace and forever rest."
