A good life isn’t time to mull
or victories to boast
it’s moments when your heart is full
that truly matter most:
a warm embrace can help erase
the cold and clingy doubt
which seems to ever haunt our race
regardless how devout,
your offer of a gentle word
can easily assuage
ignoble inclinations stirred
by pride’s improper rage,
and sometimes silence serves the best
when tension slowly mounts
or even an impromptu jest—
it’s being there that counts!
There’s just one thing for me to say
before this ship departs
each day we all should find a way
for love to fill our hearts.
