A calm heart
A calm heart brings joy to life,
Stress causes anxiety and strife.
Try to live one day at a time,
And illuminate all that is sublime.
Avoid the anxieties of the next day,
And sort out the problems of today.
Avoid unreasonable high standards and stress,
Laughter brightens up your mood in distress.
Negative emmotions can cloud clear thinking,
Avoid smoking vaping and heavy drinking.
Manage your finances well and avoid stress,
The plenty belonging to the rich can lead to a mess.
Take time to relax after earning your money,
As the bee does after producing it's honey.
Kill your stress with kindness and think of others,
Benefit and emmulate the true love of mothers.
Regular exercise promotes good health and moods,
Be sure to sleep well and eat nutricious foods.
The world is worried,stressed and in pain,
A calm heart will give life to it's body again.
A prayer up there to Thee, oh Lord I send,
Please bring the evil of putin to an end !!!!
