Keep Being Good

Keep being good,

and you will see —

your life flood

with happiness.

Not always,

because being

in the wrong place

at the wrong time

can bring doom.

Yet, walking the right path

brings blessings —

sooner or later.

I can say that

as I see the

silhouetted hills,

a silent green valley,

looming mountains,

migratory birds,

leafy sidewalks,

majestic oaks,

fresh air,

and a myriad of flowers,

I feel —

this is what I had hoped for

as I endured

the tough phases.

Destiny will reward

those who

listen to their conscience,

bring positive energy,

spread empathy,

and choose kindness.
