Life attempts to submerge us at times
flinging us forward like we're no more than water
easily manipulated by the windlike fingers
of triumphs and failures.
So it is that we must make a small promise.

Promise one love song a day
and teach your heart the words.
The music will make your love more aware
and the hum of it will haunt your smile.

Just take life aside
have a little one on one with it
appreciation is the key to enjoying what it has to give.

Dream in sizes not recognized by normal charts
and even if you never fit them all
you'll always have something to hope towards.

Smile when the day frowns.
Love someone even when they're careless with you.
Speak an honest language
and no matter the differences in opinion
someone will always give you the respect you deserve
and the tolerance a good heart commands.

Allow yourself your mistakes
but don't wallow in making them.
Love
Be passionate
and find the little joys in everything.
