Savour Your Life

(For Sedacy Walden, my Grandson)

Savor your life, and try to live it well!
Each day should be a milestone on the path
Devoted to pure Truth, where Angels dwell,
And Love and Kindness keep one’s mind from wrath.

Cherish each moment of each passing day.
Your life should be a charm, where joy holds sway.

Wealth -- Be it gold, material things, or thoughts --
Ascribed to lowly deeds, merely depose….
Love is the wealth which transforms all the naughts.
Despite your circumstance, Love grants repose.

Enlist Love’s radiant force to guide your soul --
Negate the faults which would impede its role….
