Dearest Em, as Alabama sings, life ain't all that easy...
Yet forget not that we chose this life and with our Lord's
Blessings and Leave, let's love ourselves with devout frenzy
As we pick up the pieces of our lives, broken into a million shards.

Here I am, saying hello, to face life as best you can.
It's a game as can't be won, only played, so chin up and
Look that luminary straight with level eye, let not your smile be wan.
Rather remember to shape shift constantly, leave your mark in the indelible sand.

Nights we sleep on a bed of nails, but the bitter stinking pain
Can only remind us to transmute it and find glory,
As we shall one day soon bask in the sun and the rain.
So never let your roar dim, else bitter will end the story.

You see, what we win, we win for the whole of humanity,
So chin up dear, though life may seem to hang by a sliver.
Tap out if you must, even give in to the surrounding insanity,
But let your bow twang as Arjuna's did with his inexhaustible quiver.

Dream if you can of a whole different tomorrow for your loved ones
Then count this bard a steadfast friend too, you see,
It's an intentional life some of us are blessed to choose, so enjoys the Sun's
Rays as you glide through this life that soon I pray will be excellent to thee.
