There is no use in worrying
it can't achieve a thing,
for worrying leads to sadness
and that's all it will bring.
Though life is bleak and grey
just try a little smile,
and go and take a peaceful walk
in the fresh air for a while.
For life seems so much better
when distractions fill your mind,
so stop whatever you're doing
and let yourself unwind.
Misery craves attention
so grab your boots be snappy,
and if you remember one thing
my friend - it's this: don't dwell be happy.

He was finally a bookworm.
So he'd cracked open the champagne
and tasted the victory,
all it had needed was consistency,
with a sprinkle of meticulous attitude
and the boundaries had been breached,
the glass ceiling shattered -
escaping the chasm of 'can't' or 'won't'
which used to draw him in.
But, now he had the will, the nerve, the enthusiasm:
he had the gumption!
Another glass of citrus bubble divine
outweighing tomorrow's
swallowed implications,
foot-tapping along
to jazzed-up songs,
misty-eyed no more,
alive with the yellow daffodils of spring.

If you asked me to show you God, I would not read you the bible,
Or the Quran or the Vedas or the Torah or anything with a holy title,
I would not take you to a temple and I would not point to the sky,
I would not even tell you to look in your heart, because that would be a lie
Instead, I would take you to the subways in the heart of New York City,
and I would point at the violin player playing so euphoniously without self pity,
I would take you to California and give you a tour of the high tech laboratory,
and introduce you to engineers working the next chapter of the human story
Or maybe, we would fly to the slums of Brazil where it so nice and warm,
And see the 12 year old zooming past 10 kids with a ball, a legend is born,
Or we could visit the villages of India, where time is not the same it is now,
And we could see the women, using magic to make food that is sure to wow
You might ask what the point of all this is, and what this has to do with God,
And I will tell you that God is made up of many peas and this world is the pod,
And you will think I am crazy but will look at the world with new admiration,
Because it is only with this perspective, that the world can reach true salvation
