How should we measure
The value of someone's life?

What have you done for others
How have you tried to improve
The lives of others

In your work
Or in daily life

I create a vision
Of the person
I want to be

Kind and caring
It is what suits me

The tao is like water
It loves and nourishes all things

Remember the stoic calm
Tranquility and inner composure

The man of tao loves the whole world
As his own self

My body is somewhat akward
With my shoulder
It's okay
I accept that

In nature
There is peace
I remember the
Woodpeckers three
Perched in the sycamore tree

Tap tap tapping
As content as could be
I walk beneath the trees

A cool September evening it was
The monastery bells
Could be heard again

Live
Live with your loving art
Act
Act with your love in your heart

And I can
I will
I will live and love

Despite the endless hours
I spent alone

Be virtuous
Be good
Kind and caring
Simple and humble

Some say we could be nearing end of days

Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Which was, and is, to come

On and on I run
Every other day

The gym is almost like
A sacred place to me

There is no "pushing"
Just breathe deeply and relax

Believe, you must
Believe in your heart
With your whole heart
That you will be
You will act
As the person
You envision
Yourself to be

The tao of eternal vision

Human life
Quite a thing
The days
Coming and coming once again

A final judgement
Only fair I would say
Everything counts here
During our earth days

Kind and loving
Return bitterness with care

Jesus was like the tao
He loved and nourished all people
And it is His love
That is greatest of all
