Birthright

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Birthright.

 

Let tight knots stifling the spirit
slacken and shake loose soft streams of quiet.



Untie and fledge troubled feelings.
then allow freedom of will to feather and fly.

 

Take wing to painless self-nurture
where pride's failure to smile never applies.

 

Success will become unbounded
if breath gains depth before climbing high.

 

Find fervent zeal within chosen
fields and taste love-seeds waiting in life.

 

If fed with action and tended
with attitude mood's fruitage alters minds.

 

Contentment oils good digestion
and satisfied hearts soon learn to lighten.

 

Every breath engages a purpose
of daily betterment by those valuing time.

 

Humans are born to share love's
reasons for laughter with acts of kindness.

 

Joy is created a birthright so let
out hurts if happiness starts fading inside.

        Great positive advice for those who need some in these difficult times.

        I need no such enticements for a smile is never for from my lips. Why, simply because it feels good to be a happy person. I do count myself as lucky in having this disposition. One of my pleasures is to know i have passed thru my genes this same happy disposition to my handicapped daughter who does not speak at all but she laughs smiles and giggles very much.
        For me there is much in life to be thankful for and so - i'm happy.

          Your comment on what and who brings you happiness is one of the most moving I have ever received and your final words give reasons we would all benefit from reading and taking to heart my dear friend.

            Joy is created a birthright so let
            out hurts if happiness starts fading inside.... Mahabharata says - Joy is the result of good conduct... Buddha says, without tolerance, its impossible to achieve peace...
