Lead me not into temptation, the easiest way to go
--The wilderness of my nature or the path that I’ve been shown
- Do I cultivate the goodness, or the pain my life has known?
Misery, hardship, anger-- sing the tune, ’Oh, woe unto me’,
Or a smile of joy with each morning, and a song of Great Jubilee!
Life is all about choice--be it tragic or comic romance;
Do I give up, lay down,and die
--or do I stand up with courage and dance?
Begin each day with a smile;
it will carry you through the day;
If my search for Wisdom is Truth, I will try this better way!
Jacob - 4/10/01
